This paper investigates the anti-knock properties of biofuels that can be produced from microorganism metabolic processes. The biofuels are rated using Research Octane Number (RON) and Blending Research Octane Number (BRON), which determine their potential as additives for fuel in spark ignition (SI) engines. Tests were conducted using a single-cylinder Cooperative Fuel Research (CFR) engine and performance of the biofuels was compared to primary reference fuels (PRFs). The investigated fuels include 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, 2-methylpropan-1-ol (isobutanol), and limonene. Results show that 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, and 2-methylpropan-1-ol (isobutanol) sufficiently improve the anti-knock properties of gasoline.

AbstractThe pyrolysis of 2,5-dimethylfuran has been studied in a single pulse shock tube equipped with fast probing device at temperatures between 1175 K and 1450 K and pressures of 8.0±0.5 bar. The initial concentration of 2,5-dimethylfuran diluted in argon (500 ppm) was much lower than in previous studies reported in the literature. Sixteen different product species were quantified by gas chromatography. The product distribution pattern was compared with the prediction of two comprehensive chemical kinetic reaction mechanisms taken from the literature. In general, the predictions of the mechanisms fit the results of the experiments; however, the comparison reveals some differences between the two mechanisms as well as between simulations and experiments.
