Additional information

This paper is one of the outcomes of the research funded by Shell Global Solutions (Roger Cracknell, £60k, email available). Using a combination of experiments and computer simulations, it was confirmed for the first time that uptake of fuel components by carbonaceous deposits on the surfaces of the combustion engine is a plausible mechanism of the engine performance deterioration. This justifies industrial development of advanced fuels preventing deposits formation. The paper led to further research support from Shell (2010, £90k, RB0160) and several SAE (Society for Automotive Engineers) technical publications (DoI:10.4271/2009-01-0502,DoI:10.4271/2011-01-0901).
