A detailed chemical kinetic modeling, ignition delay time and jet-stirred reactor study of methanol oxidation

Burke, Ultan; Metcalfe, Wayne K.; Burke, Sinead M.; Heufer, K. Alexander; Dagaut, Philippe; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2016-01-29)

A shock tube (ST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) have been used to measure new ignition delay times for methanol oxidation over a wide range of pressures (2-50 atm) and equivalence ratios (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0). These ...

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 ...
