A Wide-Range Kinetic Modeling Study of Oxidation and Combustion of Transportation Fuels and Surrogate Mixtures

Liquid fuels, such as gasolines and jet and diesel fuels, are usually refined products from the processing of crude oil. Their composition is mainly based on major physical properties and combustion performance indexes. For these reasons, real transportation fuels contain thousands of compounds that greatly vary with the feedstock origins, the seasons, and the economic factors that are imposed by the refinery. Regardless of this complexity, the...
