Combustion characteristics of various fuels during research octane number testing on an instrumented CFR F1/F2 engine
The Cooperative Fuels Research (CFR) engine is the long-established standard for characterization of fuel knock resistance in spark-ignition internal combustion engines. Despite its measurements of RON and MON being widely used, there is little understanding of what governs the CFR octane rating for fuels of various chemical compositions compared to primary reference fuels (iso-octane and n-heptane). Some detailed combustion characteristics were measured on a highly instrumented CFR F1/F2 engine during RON testing of fuels with significantly different chemical composition. Our results revealed differences in the cylinder pressure and temperature conditions, as well as knocking characteristics.
