Reaction Design introduces model fuel library resulting from work of Model Fuels Consortium

Green Car Congress

Fuel properties affect a number of combustion and engine properties, including ignition delay; knocking tendency; flame speeds; pollutant emissions; sooting tendency and particle size distributions; and density, viscosity and heating value. The components can be combined to model a large variety of new or existing fuel blends.

Reaction Design introduces FORTÉ CFD for advanced, 3D internal combustion engine simulations based on detailed fuel chemistry mechanisms

Green Car Congress

The response has been to increase engine complexity with the solutions that designers are coming up with—for example, charge compression ignition, either homogeneous or partially premixed, or new dual fuels concepts. Time-to-solution is prohibitively long, and emissions models (especially soot) give wrong trends/results.

California issues draft plan for more efficient, less polluting freight system

Green Car Congress

The Draft Action Plan puts forward a single shared vision to improve the efficiency of California’s freight system while reducing its pollution, while continuing to bolster the competitiveness of California’s goods movement system nationally and internationally. Improve freight system efficiency 25% by 2030.
