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, ...
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 ...
