Investigating the feasibility of characterising gasoline autoignition using a motored engine apparatus

Development of a predictive octane model is a potentially useful tool for designing fuel blends for meeting octane specifications. One of the approaches adopted is through chemical kinetic modelling of the autoignition properties of constituent compounds. The results obtained from models, however, a...
