The present invention provides a functional fluid suitable for use in an internal combustion engine, comprising: (a) a major amount of a base fluid; (b) a minor amount of a polysubstituted alkanol amine derivative reaction product obtainable by reacting: (i) a carboxylate compound of formula ...
The invention provides gasoline compositions comprising a major amount of a gasoline suitable for use in spark-ignition engines and a minor amount of an alkali metal salt of a partial ester of an alkyl polyether alcohol of the general formula <CHEM> in which n is an integer from 4 to 25,...
, the high value is larger since it includes the latent heat of vaporization of water. The difference between the high and low values is significant and is typically of the order of 8–10% (Table 10.2). This accounts for most of the apparent discrepancy in the heat value of gasoline....
Methane, the main constituent of NG, has a higher octane number than gasoline and a lower cetane number than diesel. Thus, regardless of the way of introducing NG into the combustion chamber in CI engines, NG does not spontaneously ignite under typical CI compression ratios (and the ...

Organic materials undergoing bacterial composting can generate enough heat to reach the point of combustion.Turbulent Combustion resulting in a turbulent flame is the most used for industrial applications (e.g. gas turbines, gasoline engines, etc.) because the turbulence helps the mixing process ...
of gasoline.Preferred solvents are oxygenated hydrocarbons such as ethanol, tetrahydrofuran, and methyl tertiary butyl ether, and will preferably be employed in amounts of less than 5% of the weight of the gasoline to provide oxygen and the metal at a weight ratio of from 1,000:1 to 100,...
If we consider that the majority of these gases are flammable, then we must consider tHat all smoke is unbumed fuel, harmful, flammable and ignitable. A firefighter would not walk through a pool of gasoline and without recognising it as fuel, so why do we continue to walk through unburne...
The tests were carried out with the use of gasoline, ethanol, n-heptane, and n-butanol during combustion in a model test engine—the rapid compression machine (RCM). The analyzed combustion process indicators included the cylinder pressure, pressure increase rate, heat release rate, and heat ...
detailed combustion mechanisms today include hundreds of species and thousands of reactions.11The combustion of gasoline and diesel fuels – mixtures of many hydrocarbon compounds – can be approximated by usingiso-octane,n-heptane, and their blends, so-called primary reference fuel (PRF).18For PRF...
