An experimental and modeling study of nitromethane + O2 + N2 ignition in a shock tube
(Elsevier, 2016-09-09)The ignition of nitromethane/O-2/N-2 mixtures was investigated via shock tube experiments in the temperature range 947-1333 K at reflected shock pressures near 8, 16 and 32 atm. The ignition was recorded as the intensity ... -
Ignition delay times, laminar flame speeds, and mechanism validation for natural gas/hydrogen blends at elevated pressures
(Elsevier, 2013-12-30)New experimental ignition delay time data measured in both a shock tube and in a rapid compression machine were taken to determine the increase in reactivity due to the addition of hydrogen to mixtures of methane and natural ... -
Influence of steam dilution on the ignition of hydrogen, syngas and natural gas blends at elevated pressures
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-11-10)This paper presents the influence of steam dilution on the autoignition behaviour of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, syngas, methane, and natural gas mixtures under gas turbine-relevant conditions. Rapid compression machine ... -
Oxidation of ethylene-air mixtures at elevated pressures, part 2: chemical kinetics
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2014-03-27)A chemical kinetics submechanism for small molecular weight hydrocarbons was modified by adjusting rate constants to produce better agreement with recent ethylene ignition delay time data compared with an earlier version ...
