    • A comparative reactivity study of 1-alkene fuels from ethylene to 1-heptene 

      Dong, Shijun; Zhang, Kuiwen; Senecal, Peter K.; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Wagnon, Scott W.; Barrett, Stephen; Lokachari, Nitin; Panigaphy, Snehasish; Pitz, William J.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-09-23)
      A comparative reactivity study of 1-alkene fuels from ethylene to 1-heptene has been performed using ignition delay time (IDT) measurements from both a high-pressure shock tube and a rapid compression machine, at an ...

    • Experimental and kinetic modeling study of 3-Methyl-2-butenol (Prenol) oxidation 

      Lokachari, Nitin; Wagnon, Scott W.; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Pitz, William J.; Curran, Henry J. (American Chemical Society, 2021-08-19)
      Longer chain alcohols with 4–5 carbon atoms are attractive alternative fuels as they can be derived from biological sources and since their combustion leads to lower exhaust gas levels of NOx and soot compared to commercial ...

    • An experimental and kinetic modeling study of cyclopentane and dimethyl ether blends 

      Lokachari, Nitin; Wagnon, Scott W.; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Pitz, William J.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-11-13)
      Cyclopentane is a suitable naphthene, or cycloalkane, in a palette for multi-component gasoline surro- gate fuels due to its presence in market fuels and its relevance to alkyl substituted cyclopentanes also present. ...

    • An experimental and kinetic modeling study of the oxidation of hexane isomers: Developing consistent reaction rate rules for alkanes 

      Kuiwen, Zhang; Banyon, Colin; Burke, Ultan; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Wagnon, Scott W.; Mehl, Marco; Curran, Henry J.; Westbrook, Charles K.; Pitz, William J. (Elsevier, 2019-05-09)
      Alkanes are key components in gasoline, jet and diesel fuels and considerably influence the combustion behavior of these fuels because of their wide range of reactivity. An improved understanding of their combustion behavior ...

    • A hierarchical single-pulse shock tube pyrolysis study of C-2-C-6 1-alkenes 

      Nagaraja, Shashank S.; Liang, Jinhu; Dong, Shijun; Panigrahy, Snehasish; Sahu, Amrit; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Wagnon, Scott W.; Pitz, William J.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-06-27)
      A single-pulse shock tube study of the pyrolysis of 2% C-2 - C-6 1-alkenes is presented at 2 bar in the tem-perature range 900-1800 K in the current study. Reactant, intermediate and product species are obtained and ...

    • A single pulse shock tube study of pentene isomer pyrolysis 

      Nagaraja, Shashank S.; Power, Jennifer; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Dong, Shijun; Wagnon, Scott W.; Pitz, William J.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-08-02)
      A single-pulse shock tube study of the four pentene isomers is carried out at 2¿±¿0.16¿bar and 900¿1600¿K. C1 to C6 species profiles were recorded using gas chromatography mass spectrometry analyses. The species are ...

    • 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, ...
