    • The combustion kinetics of the lignocellulosic biofuel, ethyl levulinate 

      Ghosh, Manik Kumer; Howard, Mícheál Séamus; Zhang, Yingjia; Djebbi, Khalil; Capriolo, Gianluca; Farooq, Aamir; Curran, Henry J.; Dooley, Stephen (Elsevier, 2018-04-04)
      Ethyl levulinate (Ethyl 4-oxopentanoate) is a liquid molecule at ambient temperature, comprising of ketone and ethyl ester functionalities and is one of the prominent liquid fuel candidates that may be easily obtained from ...

    • Decomposition studies of isopropanol in a variable pressure flow reactor 

      Dooley, Stephen; Serinyel, Zeynep; Dryer, Frederick; Curran, Henry J. (Oldenbourg Verlag, 2015-04-01)
      Alternatives to traditional petroleum derived transportation fuels, particularly alcohols, have been investigated increasingly over the last 5 years. Isopropanol has received little attention despite bridging the gap between ...

    • An experimental and modeling study of the ignition of dimethyl carbonate in shock tubes and rapid compression machine 

      Alexandrino, Katiuska; Alzueta, María U.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2017-11-05)
      Ignition delay times of dimethyl carbonate DMC were measured using low- and high-pressure shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine (RCM). In this way, the effect of fuel concentration (0.75% and 1.75%), pressure (2.0, ...

    • Ignition characteristics of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran: An experimental and kinetic study 

      Tripathi, Rupali; Lee, Changyoul; Fernandes, Ravi X.; Olivier, Herbert; Curran, Henry J.; Sarathy, S. Mani; Pitsch, Heinz (Elsevier, 2016-10-10)
      The present paper elucidates oxidation behavior of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MTHF), a novel second-generation biofuel. New experimental data sets for 2-MTHF including ignition delay time measurements in two different ...

    • Optimized reaction mechanism rate rules for ignition of normal alkanes 

      Cai, Liming; Pitsch, Heinz; Mohamed, Samah Y.; Raman, Venkat; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J.; Sarathy, S.Mani (Elsevier, 2016-08-10)
      The increasing demand for cleaner combustion and reduced greenhouse gas emissions motivates research on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels and their surrogates. Accurate detailed chemical kinetic models are an important ...

    • Towards a kinetic understanding of the NOx promoting-effect on ignition of coalbed methane: A case study of methane/nitrogen dioxide mixtures 

      Deng, Fuquan; Yang, Feiyu; Zhang, Peng; Pan, Youshun; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J.; Zhang, Yingjia; Huang, Zuohua (Elsevier, 2016-05-03)
      Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important impurity in coal-bed methane (CBM) and a dominant component of NOx pollution in practical engines. Its promoting effect on methane ignition has been studied in the current experimental ...

    • 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 ...
