Abstract

Owing to an error made by the authors A. Rahimi, E. Fatehifar, and R. Khoshbakhti Saray, the following article is incorrect: Development of an optimized chemical kinetic mechanism for homogeneous charge compression ignition combustion of a fuel blend of n-heptane and natural gas using a genetic algorithm in Proc. IMechE, Part D: J. Automobile Engineering, 2010, 224(9), 1141-1159, DOI: 10.1243/09544070JAUTO1343.

The following corrections apply:

Page 1143, citation of reference 18 has been altered from:

The total conductivity in equation (2) is calculated based on the approach of Yang and Martin [18] and is the sum of a laminar and a turbulent component.

to:

The total conductivity in equation (2) is calculated based on the approach of Komninos and Hountalas [18] and is the sum of a laminar and a turbulent component.

Page 1151: Reference 18 has been changed to:
