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, ...
Species measurements of the particulate matter reducing additive tri–propylene glycol monomethyl ether
(Elsevier, 2018-07-23)
Reducing particulate matter formation and emissions by using fuel additives is a topic of interest for the petrochemical and automotive engineering industries. A compound which has been shown to be effective in this regard ...
A chemical kinetic interpretation of the octane appetite of modern gasoline engines
(Elsevier, 2018-06-29)
Fuel anti-knock quality is a critical property with respect to the effective design of next-generation spark-ignition engines which aim to have increased efficiency, and lower emissions. Increasing evidence in the literature ...
A comparative study of the effect of varied reaction environments on a swirl stabilized flame geometry via optical measurements
(Elsevier, 2018-01-04)
The present work is a part of a larger experimental campaign which examines the behaviour of various fuels on a swirl stabilized flame burner configuration. Overall, detailed speciation measurements and temperature ...
