Comparative chemical kinetic analysis and skeletal mechanism generation for syngas combustion with NOx chemistry
Wang, Quan-De; Sun, Yanjin; Curran, Henry J. (American Chemical Society, 2019-12-09)Emission of nitrogen oxides (NOx) are one of the major environmental concerns arising from the combustion of syngas. Strategies to reduce emission and improve the efficiency of syngas combustion can be developed using ... -
Electro-mechanically guided growth and patterns
Du, Yangkun; Su, Yipin; Lü, Chaofeng; Chen, Weiqiu; Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2020-07-01)Several experiments have demonstrated the existence of an electro-mechanical effect in many biological tissues and hydrogels, and its actual influence on growth, migration, and pattern formation. Here, to model these ... -
Evaluation of non-ideal piston stopping effects on the “adiabatic core” and ignition delay time simulation in rapid compression machines
Wu, Yingtao; Tang, Chenglong; Yang, Meng; Wang, Quan-de; Huang, Zuohua; Zhao, Peng; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-05-30)Piston creep and rebound are two non-ideal piston stopping behaviors in the rapid compression machine. Compared to nominal piston stopping, piston rebound/creep will result in a smaller/bigger 'adiabatic' core zone volume ... -
Hindered rotor benchmarks for the transition states of free radical additions to unsaturated hydrocarbons
Sun, Yanjin; Somers, Kieran P.; Wang, Quan-De; Farrell, Caoimhe; Curran, Henry J. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-11-03)The hindered internal rotors of 32 transition states (TSs) formed through four free radicals, namely methyl, vinyl, ethyl, methoxy (CH3, C2H3, C2H5, CH3) additions to acetylene, ethylene, allene, propyne, and propene ... -
Prescribing patterns in growing tubular soft matter by initial residual stress
Du, Yangkun; Lü, Chaofeng; Liu, Congshan; Han, Zilong; Li, Jian; Chen, Weiqiu; Qu, Shaoxing; Destrade, Michel (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2019-10-02)Initial residual stress is omnipresent in biological tissues and soft matter, and can affect growth-induced pattern selection significantly. Here we demonstrate this effect experimentally by letting soft tubes grow in the ... -
A pyrolysis study of allylic hydrocarbon fuels
Nagaraja, Shashank S.; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Panigrahy, Snehasish; Liang, Jinhu; Lu, Haitao; Pitz, William J.; Curran, Henry J. (Wiley, 2020-08-17)The pyrolysis of selected C3 C5 allylic hydrocarbons has been studied using a single-pulse shock tube. A new single-pulse shock tube has been designed and constructed by recommissioning an existing conventional shock ...
