Modification of an ignition quality tester and its use in characterizing middle distillate fuels
The Ignition Quality Tester ( IQTTM ) is a constant volume combustion chamber based device which is used to determine the derived cetane number of diesel fuel oils when used in conjunction with ASTM D6890. During a test, the fuel sample is injected into heated, pressurised gas where it combusts. …

Raman Chemometric Method for Fuel Property Prediction
Multi-fuel compression-ignition engines for unmanned aircraft systems require real-time knowledge of fuel ignition quality and related properties. Conventional measurements of derived cetane number (DCN) and density are accurate yet slow, sample intensive, and confined to laboratory instruments. …
