New technique for modeling auto-ignition characteristics of bioethanol-blended gasolines

Green Car Congress

Researchers at KAUST in Saudi Arabia, with colleagues from Saudi Aramco and the National University of Ireland Galway, have developed a new method for investigating the auto-ignition behavior of bioethanol-blended gasolines. Gasoline knock resistance can be increased using a number of blending components.
