Comparative chemical kinetic analysis and skeletal mechanism generation for syngas combustion with NOx chemistry
Wang, Quan-De; Sun, Yanjin; Curran, Henry J. (American Chemical Society, 2019-12-09)Emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) are one of the major environmental concerns arising from the combustion of syngas. Strategies to reduce emission and improve the efficiency of syngas combustion can be developed using ... -
Evaluation of non-ideal piston stopping effects on the “adiabatic core” and ignition delay time simulation in rapid compression machines
Wu, Yingtao; Tang, Chenglong; Yang, Meng; Wang, Quan-de; Huang, Zuohua; Zhao, Peng; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-05-30)Piston creep and rebound are two non-ideal piston stopping behaviors in the rapid compression machine. Compared to nominal piston stopping, piston rebound/creep will result in a smaller/bigger 'adiabatic' core zone volume ... -
A kinetics and dynamics study on the auto-ignition of dimethyl ether at low temperatures and low pressures
Huan, Wenlin; Zhao, Qian; Huang, Zuohua; Curran, Henry J.; Zhang, Yingjia (Elsevier, 2020-09-14)Though the combustion chemistry of dimethyl ether (DME) has been widely investigated over the past decades, there remains a dearth of ignition data that examines the low-temperature, low-pressure chemistry of DME. In this ... -
Probing the low-temperature chemistry of ethanol via the addition of dimethyl ether
Zhang, Yingjia; El-Merhubi, Hilal; Lefort, Benoîte; Le Moyne, Luis; Curran, Henry J.; Kéromnès, Alan (Elsevier, 2017-11-28)Considering the importance of ethanol (EtOH) as an engine fuel and a key component of surrogate fuels, the further understanding of its auto-ignition and oxidation characteristics at engine-relevant conditions (high pressures ... -
Understanding the antagonistic effect of methanol as a component in surrogate fuel models: A case study of methanol/n-heptane mixtures
Wu, Yingtao; Panigrahy, Snehasish; Sahu, Amrit B.; Bariki, Chaimae; Beeckmann, Joachim; Liang, Jinhu; Mohamed, Ahmed A. E.; Dong, Shijun; Tang, Chenglong; Pitsch, Heinz; Huang, Zuohua; Curran, Henry J. (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 ...
