An experimental and modelling study of n-pentane oxidation in two jet-stirred reactors: The importance of pressure-dependent kinetics and new reaction pathways
(Elsevier, 2016-06-16)Two jet-stirred reactors (JSRs) coupled to gas chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques have been utilised to detect chemical species evolved during n -pentane oxidation at 1 and 10 atm, in the temperature range 500-1100 ... -
An experimental and modelling study of selected oxygenated biofuels
(2014-10-13)Detailed chemical kinetic models are useful tools for the development of more efficient combustion systems. These models require validation of the elementary kinetics used in order for them to be accurate and reliable. ... -
An Experimental and Modelling Study of the Oxidation of n-Propylbenzene Over a Wide Range of Temperatures and Pressures and its Comparison with n-Butylbenzene
(2013-04-05)This study presents an experimental and modeling investigation of the ignition of n-propylbenzene and a mixture of n-propylbenzene and n-heptane. This mixture was chosen to represent a surrogate for n-decylbenzene a common ... -
On the oxidation of alkanes and thermodynamic properties of nitrogen-containing compounds: experimental, theoretical, and kinetic modelling studies
(2016-09-21)The primary focus of the work presented in this Thesis involved a major re-evaluation of detailed chemical kinetic models describing alkane oxidation under combustion conditions. Combined experimental and theoretical ... -
On the pyrolysis and combustion of furans: quantum chemical, statistical rate theory, and chemical kinetic modelling studies
(2014-06-23)The development of synthetic methods which can convert inedible waste biomass into liquid transportation fuels is an exciting breakthrough which may reduce our dependence on fossil fuels for energy production, and contribute ... -
Unsaturated hydrocarbon combustion chemistry and gasoline and diesel fuel ignition: Experimental and theoretical studies
(2017-12-04)The primary objective of the work presented in this Thesis is to investigate the oxidation chemistry of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Butenes (1-, 2-, iso-butene) and 1,3-butadiene are the shortest olefins with structural ...
