2-Methylfuran: A bio-derived octane booster for spark-ignition engines

Abstract: The efficiency of spark-ignition engines is limited by the phenomenon of knock, which is caused by auto-ignition of the fuel-air mixture ahead of the spark-initiated flame front. The resistance of a fuel to knock is quantified by its octane index; therefore, increasing the octane index of a spark-ignition engine fuel increases the efficiency of the respective engine. However, raising the octane index of gasoline increases the refining costs, as well as the energy consumption during production. The use of alter… Show more

“…21,22 Therefore, it is reasonable to correlate the RONs measured by the CFR engine with the ignition delay times of the fuel/air mixtures. 23,24 In this study, the detailed chemical mechanism proposed by Alramadan et al, 14 including 1765 species and 7714 elementary reactions, was used for the auto-ignition simulation of the butanol/gasoline surrogate blends. All the simulations were carried out using the adiabatic constant-volume homogeneous batch reactor module in the Chemkin Pro Package.…”
