Ignition characteristics of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran: An experimental and kinetic study
Tripathi, Rupali; Lee, Changyoul; Fernandes, Ravi X.; Olivier, Herbert; Curran, Henry J.; Sarathy, S. Mani; Pitsch, Heinz (Elsevier, 2016-10-10)The present paper elucidates oxidation behavior of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF), a novel second-generation biofuel. New experimental data sets for 2-MTHF including ignition delay time measurements in two different ... -
Modeling ignition of a heptane isomer: improved thermodynamics, reaction pathways, kinetics, and rate rule optimizations for 2-methylhexane
Mohamed, Samah Y.; Cai, Liming; Khaled, Fethi; Banyon, Colin; Wang, Zhandong; Al Rashidi, Mariam J.; Pitsch, Heinz; Curran, Henry J.; Farooq, Aamir; Sarathy, S. Mani (American Chemical Society, 2016-03-21)Accurate chemical kinetic combustion models of lightly branched alkanes (e.g., 2-methylalkanes) are important to investigate the combustion behavior of real fuels. Improving the fidelity of existing kinetic models is a ... -
Optimized reaction mechanism rate rules for ignition of normal alkanes
Cai, Liming; Pitsch, Heinz; Mohamed, Samah Y.; Raman, Venkat; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J.; Sarathy, S.Mani (Elsevier, 2016-08-10)The increasing demand for cleaner combustion and reduced greenhouse gas emissions motivates research on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels and their surrogates. Accurate detailed chemical kinetic models are an important ... -
Understanding the antagonistic effect of methanol as a component in surrogate fuel models: A case study of methanol/n-heptane mixtures
Wu, Yingtao; Panigrahy, Snehasish; Sahu, Amrit B.; Bariki, Chaimae; Beeckmann, Joachim; Liang, Jinhu; Mohamed, Ahmed A. E.; Dong, Shijun; Tang, Chenglong; Pitsch, Heinz; Huang, Zuohua; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2021-01-19)Methanol is a widely used engine fuel, blend component, and additive. However, no systematic auto-ignition data or laminar flame speed measurements are available for kinetic studies of the effect of methanol as a blending ...
