The combustion kinetics of the lignocellulosic biofuel, ethyl levulinate
(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 ... -
A comprehensive combustion chemistry study of 2,5-dimethylhexane
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-01-16)Iso-paraffinic molecular structures larger than seven carbon atoms in chain length are commonly found in conventional petroleum, Fischer-Tropsch (FT), and other alternative hydrocarbon fuels, but little research has been ... -
Cyclopentane combustion. Part II. Ignition delay measurements and mechanism validation
(Elsevier, 2017-06-12)This study reports cyclopentane ignition delay measurements over a wide range of conditions. The measurements were obtained using two shock tubes and a rapid compression machine, and were used to test a detailed low- and ... -
An experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-hexane oxidation
(Elsevier, 2015-09-11)Ignition delay times for n-hexane oxidation have been measured in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at stoichiometric conditions and at 15 bar. Due to the high reactivity of n-hexane and non-ideal experimental effects ... -
An experimental, theoretical, and modeling study of the ignition behavior of cyclopentanone
(Elsevier, 2018-07-05)The ignition delay times of cyclopentanone in air were measured using a high pressure shock tube (HPST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) over the temperature range of 794-1368 K at P = 15 and 30 bar and at equivalence ... -
Ignition characteristics of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran: An experimental and kinetic study
(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 ... -
An RCM experimental and modeling study on CH4 and CH4/C2H6 oxidation at pressures up to 160 bar
(Elsevier, 2017-06-13)The oxidation of CH4 and CH4/C2H6 mixtures were studied at pressures relevant to knocking in large bore natural gas engines. The experiments were carried out in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at end of compression (EOC) ...
