An experimental and kinetic modeling study of the ignition delay characteristics of binary blends of ethane/propane and ethylene/propane in multiple shock tubes and rapid compression machines over a wide range of temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio, and dilution
(Elsevier, 2021-03-02)
In this work, the ignition delay time characteristics of C2 – C3 binary blends of gaseous hydrocarbons including ethylene/propane and ethane/propane are studied over a wide range of temperatures (750 – 2000 K), pressures ...
Understanding the antagonistic effect of methanol as a component in surrogate fuel models: A case study of methanol/n-heptane mixtures
(Elsevier, 2021-01-19)
Methanol is a widely used engine fuel, blend component, and additive. However, no systematic auto-ignition data or laminar flame speed measurements are available for kinetic studies of the effect of methanol as a blending ...
A comprehensive experimental and kinetic modeling study of 1-hexene
(Elsevier, 2021-06-13)
It is important to understand the low-temperature chemistry of 1-hexene as it is used as a representative alkene component in gasoline surrogate fuels. Ignition delay times (IDTs) of 1-hexene measured in rapid compression ...
A fundamental study on the pyrolysis of hydrocarbons
(Elsevier, 2021-07-10)
A newly developed detailed chemical kinetic mechanism, NUIGMech1.1, is used to study the pyrolysis of C1 ¿ C7 hydrocarbons at a constant initial fuel concentration in the temperature range 900 ¿ 2000 K. We observe that, ...
A comprehensive experimental and improved kinetic modeling study on the pyrolysis and oxidation of propyne
(Elsevier, 2020-09-15)
To improve our understanding of the combustion characteristics of propyne, new experimental data for ignition delay times (IDTs), pyrolysis speciation profiles and flame speed measurements are presented in this study. IDTs ...
An experimental and kinetic modeling study of the auto-ignition of natural gas blends containing C1–C7 alkanes
(Elsevier, 2020-07-16)
Ignition delay time measurements for multi-component natural gas mixtures were carried out using a rapid compression machine at conditions relevant to gas turbine operation, at equivalence ratios of 0.5–2.0 in ‘air’ in the ...
Ruthenium-centred btp glycoclusters as inhibitors for Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2021-05-04)
Carbohydrate-decorated clusters (glycoclusters) centred on a Ru(II) ion were synthesised and tested for their activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation. These clusters were designed by conjugating a range ...
Hindered rotor benchmarks for the transition states of free radical additions to unsaturated hydrocarbons
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-11-03)
The hindered internal rotors of 32 transition states (TSs) formed through four free radicals, namely methyl, vinyl, ethyl, methoxy (CH3, C2H3, C2H5, CH3) additions to acetylene, ethylene, allene, propyne, and propene ...
Development of a rapid Polarized Total Synchronous Fluorescence Spectroscopy (pTSFS) method for protein quantification in a model bioreactor broth
(Wiley, 2021-01-27)
Protein quantification during bioprocess monitoring is essential for biopharmaceutical manufacturing and is complicated by the complex chemical composition of the bioreactor broth. Here we present the early-stage development ...
Indoor air quality, thermal comfort and ventilation in deep energy retrofitted Irish dwellings
(Elsevier, 2022-05-28)
Residential building stock energy retrofits will play a key role in EU climate actions. The impact of these retrofits on indoor air quality (IAQ) and occupant comfort needs to be assessed to inform future renovation ...
