| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Knocking in spark-ignition engines results from the complex interactions among heat release by chemical reactions, heat loss to the cylinder wall, and turbulent flows. This study aimed to investigate the auto-ignition mechanism of hydrocarbon fuels by using detailed chemical kinetic models. It was found that the reactivity of alkylperoxy radicals (ROO), which play important role in the oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels, is a function of the chain length and position of tertiary and quaternary carbon atoms. These trends make it possible to classify alkylperoxy radicals by their chemical structures, and suggest a reduced low-temperature oxidation chemistry.
