Research Octane Number (RON) is one of the primary indicators for the determination of the resistance of gasoline fuels to autoignition. This parameter is usually determined with a test procedure involving a standardized engine that requires expensiv...

An innovative and informed methodology for the rational design and testing of anti-knock additives is reported. Interaction of the additives with OH● and HO2● is identified as the key reaction pathway by which non-metallic anti-knock additives are pr...

In this study approaches for chemical conversions of the renewable compounds 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) and 2,3-butanediol (2,3-BD) that yield the corresponding cyclic ketals and glycol ethers have been investigated experimentally. The characterization...

Bioethanol and dimetyl carbonate (DMC) are considered alternative fuels and additives to the synthesis compounds used now, since bioethanol is a biofuel and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is non-toxic, biodegradable and can be produced in a cleaner way. In...

This research work seeks to introduce eco-friendly, low-carbon, and high-octane biofuel gasoline production using a synergistic approach. Four types of high-octane gasoline, including SynergyFuel-92, SynergyFuel-95, SynergyFuel-98, and SynergyFuel-10...

Oil and natural gas continue to dominate global energy consumption, though a supply gap of 2 million barrels per day (b/d) was reported in the fourth quarter of 2023. Despite a projected increase in global oil supply by 1.2 million b/d in 2023, reach...

To meet the increasing anti-knocking quality demand of boosted spark-ignition engines, fuel additives are considered an effective approach to tailor fuel properties for satisfying the performance requirements. Thus, screening/developing bio-derived f...

Fuel blending plays a very important role in petroleum refineries, because it directly affects the quality of the end products, as well as the overall profitability of the refinery. This process of blending involves a combination of various hydrocarb...

Petroleum-derived gasoline is still the most widely used liquid automotive fuel for ground vehicles equipped with spark-ignition engines. One of the most important properties of gasoline fuels is their antiknock performance, which is experimentally e...

Knock in spark ignition (SI) engines occurs when the air–fuel mixture in the combustion chamber ignites spontaneously ahead of the flame front, reducing combustion efficiency and possibly leading to engine damage if left unattended. The use of...
