An ab initio/transition state theory study of the reactions of Ċ5H9 species of relevance to 1,3-Pentadiene, Part II: Pressure dependent rate constants and implications for combustion modeling
(American Chemical Society, 2020-05-12)The temperature- and pressure-dependence of rate constants for several radicals and unsaturated hydrocarbons reactions (1,3-C5H8/1,4-C5H8/cyC(5)H(8) + (H)over dot, C2H4 + (C)over dot(3)H5-a, C3H6 + (C)over dot(2)H(3)) are ... -
A chemical kinetic perspective on the low-temperature oxidation of propane/propene mixtures through experiments and kinetic analyses
(Elsevier, 2020-10-21)Our understanding of fuel oxidation has improved with rigorous experimental and theoretical investigations being performed in recent years. As investigation methods evolve, our understanding of fundamental fuel chemistry ... -
CO and H2O time-histories in shock-heated blends of methane and ethane for assessment of a chemical kinetics model
(ASME The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2017-09-13)Methane and ethane are the two main components of natural gas and typically constitute more than 95% of it. In this study, a mixture of 90% CH4/10% C2H6 diluted in 99% Ar was studied at fuel lean (equiv. ratio = 0.5) ... -
A comprehensive iso-octane combustion model with improved thermochemistry and chemical kinetics
(Elsevier, 2017-02-05)Iso-Octane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) is a primary reference fuel and an important component of gasoline fuels. Moreover, it is a key component used in surrogates to study the ignition and burning characteristics of gasoline ... -
Developing detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms for fuel combustion
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)This paper discusses a brief history of chemical kinetic modeling, with some emphasis on the development of chemical kinetic mechanisms describing fuel oxidation. At high temperatures, the important reactions tend to be ... -
The influence of iso-butene kinetics on the reactivity of di-isobutylene and iso-octane
(Elsevier, 2020-09-06)The continuous development of a core C-0 - C-4 kinetic mechanism generally involves updating it using reliable kinetics and thermodynamics and may also involve the inclusion of missing reaction pathways to improve the ...
