    • A comprehensive experimental and kinetic modeling study of 1-and 2-pentene 

      Dong, Shijun; Zhang, Kuiwen; Ninnemann, Erik M.; Najjar, Ahmed; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Baker, Jessica; Arafin, Farhan; Wang, Zhandong; Pitz, William J.; Vasu, Subith S.; Sarathy, S. Mani; Senecal, Peter K.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-10-15)
      1- and 2-pentene are components in gasoline and are also used as representative alkene components in gasoline surrogate fuels. Most of the available ignition delay time data in the literature for these fuels are limited ...

    • Modeling ignition of a heptane isomer: improved thermodynamics, reaction pathways, kinetics, and rate rule optimizations for 2-methylhexane 

      Mohamed, Samah Y.; Cai, Liming; Khaled, Fethi; Banyon, Colin; Wang, Zhandong; Al Rashidi, Mariam J.; Pitsch, Heinz; Curran, Henry J.; Farooq, Aamir; Sarathy, S. Mani (American Chemical Society, 2016-03-21)
      Accurate chemical kinetic combustion models of lightly branched alkanes (e.g., 2-methylalkanes) are important to investigate the combustion behavior of real fuels. Improving the fidelity of existing kinetic models is a ...

    • Small ester combustion chemistry: Computational kinetics and experimental study of methyl acetate and ethyl acetate 

      Ahmed, Ahfaz; Pitz, William J.; Cavallotti, Carlo; Mehl, Marco; Lokachari, Nitin; Nilsson, Elna J. K.; Wang, Jui-Yang; Konnov, Alexander A.; Wagnon, Scott W.; Chen, Bingjie; Wang, Zhandong; Kim, Seonah; Curran, Henry J.; Klippenstein, Stephen J.; Roberts, William L.; Sarathy, S. Mani (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, ...
