The pyrolysis of 2-methylfuran: a quantum chemical, statistical rate theory and kinetic modelling study
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014-01-27)
Due to the rapidly growing interest in the use of biomass derived furanic compounds as potential platform chemicals and fossil fuel replacements, there is a simultaneous need to understand the pyrolysis and combustion ...
Oxidation of ethylene-air mixtures at elevated pressures, part 1: experimental results
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2014-03-26)
Shock-tube experiments have been performed to determine ignition delay times of undiluted ethylene air mixtures for temperatures from 1003 to 1401 K, at equivalence ratios from 0.3 to 2.0, and at pressures from 1.1 to 24.9 ...
Oxidation of ethylene-air mixtures at elevated pressures, part 2: chemical kinetics
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2014-03-27)
A chemical kinetics submechanism for small molecular weight hydrocarbons was modified by adjusting rate constants to produce better agreement with recent ethylene ignition delay time data compared with an earlier version ...
An ignition delay and kinetic modeling study of methane, dimethyl ether, and their mixtures at high pressures
(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 ...
An experimental and modeling study of surrogate mixtures of n-propyl- and n-butylbenzene in n-heptane to simulate n-decylbenzene ignition
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-01-11)
This paper presents experimental data for the oxidation of two surrogates for the large alkylbenzene class of compounds contained in diesel fuels, namely n-decylbenzene. A 57:43 molar% mixture of n-propylbenzene:n-heptane ...
