    • An experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-hexane oxidation 

      Zhang, Kuiwen; Banyon, Colin; Togbé, Casimir; Dagaut, Philippe; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2015-09-11)
      Ignition delay times for n-hexane oxidation have been measured in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at stoichiometric conditions and at 15 bar. Due to the high reactivity of n-hexane and non-ideal experimental effects ...

    • An experimental, theoretical, and modeling study of the ignition behavior of cyclopentanone 

      Zhang, Kuiwen; Lokachari, Nitin; Ninnemann, Erik; Khanniche, Sarah; Green, William H.; Curran, Henry J.; Vasu, Subith S.; Pitz, William J. (Elsevier, 2018-07-05)
      The ignition delay times of cyclopentanone in air were measured using a high pressure shock tube (HPST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) over the temperature range of 794-1368 K at P = 15 and 30 bar and at equivalence ...

    • 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 ...

    • An RCM experimental and modeling study on CH4 and CH4/C2H6 oxidation at pressures up to 160 bar 

      Ramalingam, Ajoy; Zhang, Kuiwen; Dhongde, Avnish; Virnich, Lukas; Sankhla, Harsh; Curran, Henry J.; Heufer, Alexander (Elsevier, 2017-06-13)
      The oxidation of CH4 and CH4/C2H6 mixtures were studied at pressures relevant to knocking in large bore natural gas engines. The experiments were carried out in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at end of compression (EOC) ...

    • An updated experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-heptane oxidation 

      Zhang, Kuiwen; Banyon, Colin; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J.; Rodriguez, Anne; Herbinet, Olivier; Battin-Leclerc, Frédérique; B'Chir, Christine; Heufer, Karl Alexander (Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-07-25)
      This work presents an updated experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-heptane oxidation. In the experiments, ignition delay times of stoichiometric n-heptaneiair mixtures have been measured in two different high-pressure ...
