Detailed kinetic modeling of dimethoxymethane. Part I: Ab initio thermochemistry and kinetics predictions for key reactions
(Elsevier, 2017-09-06)
Despite the great interest in oxygenated methyl ethers as diesel fuel additives and as fuels themselves, the influence of their methylenedioxy group(s) (0-CH2-0) has never been quantified using ab initio methods. In this ...
Pyrolysis of n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane in a single pulse shock tube
(Elsevier, 2017-08-16)
The pyrolysis of n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane have been studied behind reflected shock waves at pressures of 1.0-2.5 atm and at temperatures of 1000-1500 K. A single-pulse shock tube (SPST) was used to measure reactant, ...
Advances in rapid compression machine studies of low- and intermediate-temperature autoignition phenomena
(Elsevier, 2017-07-10)
Rapid compression machines (RCMs) are widely used to acquire experimental insights into fuel autoignition and pollutant formation chemistry, especially at conditions relevant to current and future combustion technologies. ...
A kinetic modelling study of alcohols operating regimes in a HCCI engine
(SAE International, 2017-09-04)
Pursuing a sustainable energy scenario for transportation requires the blending of renewable oxygenated fuels such as alcohols into commercial hydrocarbon fuels. From a chemical kinetic perspective, this requires the ...
An experimental and modeling study of the ignition of dimethyl carbonate in shock tubes and rapid compression machine
(Elsevier, 2017-11-05)
Ignition delay times of dimethyl carbonate DMC were measured using low- and high-pressure shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine (RCM). In this way, the effect of fuel concentration (0.75% and 1.75%), pressure (2.0, ...
Probing the low-temperature chemistry of ethanol via the addition of dimethyl ether
(Elsevier, 2017-11-28)
Considering the importance of ethanol (EtOH) as an engine fuel and a key component of surrogate fuels, the further understanding of its auto-ignition and oxidation characteristics at engine-relevant conditions (high pressures ...
