Abstract

The control of auto-ignition can be used to increase the efficiency of internal combustion engines which has clear potential positive implications for the problem of global warming.[1] The design of internal combustion engines,[2] as well as improved safety in oxidation processes,[3] rely on a good understanding of the kinetic mechanism of the autoignition of organic compounds. Here we experimentally demonstrate a key assumption of this ...
