An experimental and chemical kinetic modeling study of 1,3-butadiene combustion: Ignition delay time and laminar flame speed measurements
(Elsevier, 2018-09-10)
Ignition delay times for 1,3-butadiene oxidation were measured in five different shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at thermodynamic conditions relevant to practical combustors. The ignition delay times ...
Small ester combustion chemistry: Computational kinetics and experimental study of methyl acetate and ethyl acetate
(Elsevier, 2018-07-17)
Small esters represent an important class of high octane biofuels for advanced spark ignition engines. They qualify for stringent fuel screening standards and could be synthesized through various pathways. In this work, ...
New experimental insights into acetylene oxidation through novel ignition delay times, laminar burning velocities and chemical kinetic modelling
(Elsevier, 2018-08-03)
The oxidation of acetylene is central to the oxidation of virtually all hydrocarbon fuels. It is also important for commercial industry, due to its wide range of applications such as flame photometry, atomic absorption, ...
Species measurements of the particulate matter reducing additive tri–propylene glycol monomethyl ether
(Elsevier, 2018-07-23)
Reducing particulate matter formation and emissions by using fuel additives is a topic of interest for the petrochemical and automotive engineering industries. A compound which has been shown to be effective in this regard ...
A chemical kinetic interpretation of the octane appetite of modern gasoline engines
(Elsevier, 2018-06-29)
Fuel anti-knock quality is a critical property with respect to the effective design of next-generation spark-ignition engines which aim to have increased efficiency, and lower emissions. Increasing evidence in the literature ...
Developing detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms for fuel combustion
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)
This paper discusses a brief history of chemical kinetic modeling, with some emphasis on the development of chemical kinetic mechanisms describing fuel oxidation. At high temperatures, the important reactions tend to be ...
A comparative study of the effect of varied reaction environments on a swirl stabilized flame geometry via optical measurements
(Elsevier, 2018-01-04)
The present work is a part of a larger experimental campaign which examines the behaviour of various fuels on a swirl stabilized flame burner configuration. Overall, detailed speciation measurements and temperature ...
The combustion kinetics of the lignocellulosic biofuel, ethyl levulinate
(Elsevier, 2018-04-04)
Ethyl levulinate (Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate) is a liquid molecule at ambient temperature, comprising of ketone and ethyl ester functionalities and is one of the prominent liquid fuel candidates that may be easily obtained from ...
An experimental, theoretical, and modeling study of the ignition behavior of cyclopentanone
(Elsevier, 2018-07-05)
The ignition delay times of cyclopentanone in air were measured using a high pressure shock tube (HPST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) over the temperature range of 794-1368 K at P = 15 and 30 bar and at equivalence ...
