A chemical kinetic computational toolkit for computational modelling and estimation of fuel thermodynamic properties
(NUI Galway, 2023-03-27)It is undeniable that, due to human activity, global warming is one of the most challenging environmental issues of our time. It is well known that the main source of greenhouse gases (GHG) is due to the burning of ... -
Combustion kinetic studies of future transportation fuels and intermediates
(NUI Galway, 2020-10-22)The transportation sector requires an abundant supply of fossil and/or bio-derived fuels, which all produce significant quantities of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The transportation sector is expected to account for ... -
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 ...
