      Zhou, Chong-Wen; Li, Yang; O'Connor, Eoin; Somers, Kieran P.; Thion, Sébastien; Keesee, Charles; Mathieu, Olivier; Petersen, Eric L.; DeVerter, Trent A.; Oehlschlaeger, Matthew A.; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Sung, Chih-Jen; Alrefae, Majed; Khaled, Fathi; Farooq, Aamir; Dirrenberger, Patricia; Glaude, Pierre-Alexandre Glaude; Battin-Leclerc, Frédérique; Santner, Jeffrey; Ju, Yiguang; Held, Timothy; Haas, Francis M.; Dryer, Frederick L.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2016-03-17)
      Isobutene is an important intermediate in the pyrolysis and oxidation of higher-order branched alkanes, and it is also a component of commercial gasolines. To better understand its combustion characteristics, a series of ...

    • An experimental and chemical kinetic modeling study of 1,3-butadiene combustion: Ignition delay time and laminar flame speed measurements 

      Zhou, Chong-Wen; Li, Yang; Burke, Ultan; Banyon, Colin; Somers, Kieran P.; Ding, Shuiting; Khan, Saadat; Hargis, Joshua W.; Sikes, Travis; Mathieu, Olivier; Petersen, Eric L.; AlAbbad, Mohammed; Farooq, Aamir; Pan, Youshun; Zhang, Yingjia; Huang, Zuohua; Lopez, Joseph; Loparo, Zachary; Vasu, Subith S.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2018-09-10)
      Ignition delay times for 1,3-butadiene oxidation were measured in five different shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at thermodynamic conditions relevant to practical combustors. The ignition delay times ...

    • An extensive experimental and modeling study of 1-butene oxidation 

      Li, Yang; Zhou, Chong-Wen; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2017-04-13)
      In this study, a series of ignition delay time (IDT) experiments of 1-butene were performed in a high-pressure shock tube (HPST) and in a rapid compression machine (RCM) under conditions of relevance to practical combustors. ...

    • Ignition delay time measurements of diesel and gasoline blends 

      Alabbad, Mohammed; Li, Yang; AlJohani, Khalid; Kenny, Gavin; Hakimov, Khaiyom; Al-lehaibi, Moaz; Emwas, Abdul-Hamid; Meier, Patrick; Badra, Jihad; Curran, Henry J.; Farooq, Aamir (Elsevier, 2020-09-23)
      Blends of diesel and gasoline can be used to achieve certain desired ignition characteristics in advanced compression ignition engine concepts. In this work, ignition delay times were measured for two blends of diesel and ...

    • The oxidation of 2-butene: A high pressure ignition delay, kinetic modeling study and reactivity comparison with isobutene and 1-butene 

      Li, Yang; Zhou, Chong-Wen; Somers, Kieran P.; Zhang, Kuiwen; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2016-06-16)
      Butenes are intermediates ubiquitously formed by decomposition and oxidation of larger hydrocarbons (e.g. alkanes) or alcohols present in conventional or reformulated fuels. In this study, a series of novel igni-tion delay ...

    • Theoretical kinetics analysis for Ḣ atom addition to 1,3-Butadiene and related reactions on the Ċ4H7 potential energy surface 

      Li, Yang; Klippenstein, Stephen J.; Zhou, Chong-Wen; Curran, Henry J. (American Chemical Society, 2017-09-08)
      The oxidation chemistry of the simplest conjugated hydrocarbon, 1,3-butadiene, can provide a first step in understanding the role of polyunsaturated hydrocarbons in combustion and, in particular, an understanding of their ...
