Abnormal combustion - methanol versus gasoline
The maximum efficiency of conventional gasoline engines is largely determined by the compression ratio, and this is limited by the onset of kno8k. The maximum cylinder size is similarly constrained. The relatively higher knock resistance of methanol opens up possibilities for increased efficiency …

Essays on gasoline price spikes, environmental regulation of gasoline content, and incentives for refinery operation
Since 1999, regional retail and wholesale gasoline markets in the United States have experienced significant price volatility, both intertemporally and across geographic markets. In particular, gasoline prices in California, Illinois and Wisconsin have spiked occasionally well above gasoline prices …

The autothermal reforming of artificial gasoline
… by the autothermal reforming of artificial gasoline has been studied. Part of gasoline is oxidised to produce heat and steam to promote the steam reforming of unburnt gasoline to produce hydrogen. The use of platinum impregnated on ceria supports (active for oxidation) and a commercial …

Multihole injectors for direct-injection gasoline engines
… for Direct-Injection (DI) Spark Ignition (SI) gasoline engines. Having explored thoroughly swirl pressure atomisers and their spray behaviour, multi-hole nozzles represent the second-generation injectors. Thus, complete investigation of multi-hole nozzle flow, spray characteristics and their …

Edgeworth price cycles in retail gasoline markets
… behavior of firms in Canadian retail gasoline markets. In the first essay, I examine behavior at the market level for 19 Canadian cities over 574 weeks. I find three distinct pricing patterns: 1. standard cost-based pricing, 2. sticky pricing, and 3. steep, asymmetric retail price …

Degradation of gasoline oxygenates in the subsurface
… potential for use as oxygenates in reformulated gasolines. Being relatively soluble in water, these organics, if accidentally discharged into the subsurface, may rapidly spread and pose threats to groundwater. The purpose of this work was to evaluate the biodegradation potential of these …

Development of a high efficiency dilute gasoline engine
Development of a High Efficiency Dilute Gasoline Engine (HEDGE) and control system for use in the Challenge X design competition encompasses the body of this work. The HEDGE concept embodies running an engine on gasoline at Diesel-like compression ratios. This is accomplished through extreme …

Model-Based Control of Gasoline Partially Premixed Combustion
… timing. It has been shown that PPC run on gasoline fuel can provide sufficient ignition delays in conventional compression-ignition engines. The PPC concept differs from conventional direct-injection diesel combustion because of its increased sensitivity to intake conditions, its decreased …

Translation of dilution tolerance for gasoline SI engine
There are a variety of fuel improvement strategies being developed for spark ignition engines which use dilution. Many of these technologies use a combination of different diluents. It is impractical in optimizing these technologies to test every possible combination of diluents. The purpose of …

Sex and Gasoline: Selling Sex in Twentieth Century America
The adult entertainment industry as modern mankind knows it began to from at the end of the Victorian age, a time where America also happened to become a major international power for the first time. The history of the adult entertainment industries from 1900 till today can almost be seen as a …

Investigation to direct ethanol injection in spark ignition gasoline engines
… method of using ethanol fuel by blending gasoline and ethanol fuel does not fully exploit ethanol’s advantages. The dual-fuel injection strategy, ethanol direct injection plus gasoline port injection (EDI+GPI), offers a potentially new way to make use of ethanol fuel more effectively and …
