Chemometrics-based Approach for Predicting Low Temperature Combustion Engine Fuel Performance

Creator:

Daly, Shane

Abstract:

Low temperature combustion (LTC) engines offer improved efficiency and reduced emissions over traditional gasoline spark-ignited and diesel compression-ignition engines. The ability to produce fuels optimized for LTC engines could help increase efficiency and therefore improve fuel economy, insomuch that Federal fuel economy standards could be met. Currently, a fuel performance...

The determination of gasoline and alkyl benzenes in aqueous solution and the development of a remote reaction chamber for fiber optic remote sensing

Creator:

Waddle, Robert D.

Abstract:

The development and optimization of a single-phase derivatization technique for small ring aromatics in water are presented. Also described are the design, optimization and application of a remote reaction chamber for fiber optic sensing. Aqueous solutions of the major aromatic compounds in gasoline are derivatized to o-nitrosophenol-Cu complexes with a...
