An ignition delay and kinetic modeling study of methane, dimethyl ether, and their mixtures at high pressures

Burke, Ultan; Somers, Kieran P.; O’Toole, Peter; Zinner, Chis M.; Marquet, Nicolas; Bourque, Gilles; Petersen, Eric L.; Metcalfe, Wayne K.; Serinyel, Zeynep; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-09-29)

The development of accurate chemical kinetic models capable of predicting the combustion of methane and dimethyl ether in common combustion environments such as compression ignition engines and gas turbines is important ...

Towards a kinetic understanding of the NOx promoting-effect on ignition of coalbed methane: A case study of methane/nitrogen dioxide mixtures

Deng, Fuquan; Yang, Feiyu; Zhang, Peng; Pan, Youshun; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J.; Zhang, Yingjia; Huang, Zuohua (Elsevier, 2016-05-03)

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important impurity in coal-bed methane (CBM) and a dominant component of NOx pollution in practical engines. Its promoting effect on methane ignition has been studied in the current experimental ...
