    • A comparative reactivity study of 1-alkene fuels from ethylene to 1-heptene 

      Dong, Shijun; Zhang, Kuiwen; Senecal, Peter K.; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Wagnon, Scott W.; Barrett, Stephen; Lokachari, Nitin; Panigaphy, Snehasish; Pitz, William J.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-09-23)
      A comparative reactivity study of 1-alkene fuels from ethylene to 1-heptene has been performed using ignition delay time (IDT) measurements from both a high-pressure shock tube and a rapid compression machine, at an ...
    • A comprehensive experimental and kinetic modeling study of 1-and 2-pentene 

      Dong, Shijun; Zhang, Kuiwen; Ninnemann, Erik M.; Najjar, Ahmed; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Baker, Jessica; Arafin, Farhan; Wang, Zhandong; Pitz, William J.; Vasu, Subith S.; Sarathy, S. Mani; Senecal, Peter K.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2020-10-15)
      1- and 2-pentene are components in gasoline and are also used as representative alkene components in gasoline surrogate fuels. Most of the available ignition delay time data in the literature for these fuels are limited ...
    • A detailed chemical kinetic modeling and experimental investigation of the low- and high-temperature chemistry of n-butylcyclohexane 

      Pitz, William J.; Liang, Jinhu; Kukkadapu, Goutham; Zhang, Kuiwen; Conroy, Christine; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J. (Wiley, 2020-11-26)
      Chemical kinetic models of gasoline, jet, and diesel fuels and their mixtures with bioderived fuels are needed to assess fuel property effects on efficiency, emissions, and other performance metrics in internal combustion ...
    • An experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-hexane oxidation 

      Zhang, Kuiwen; Banyon, Colin; Togbé, Casimir; Dagaut, Philippe; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J. (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 

      Zhang, Kuiwen; Lokachari, Nitin; Ninnemann, Erik; Khanniche, Sarah; Green, William H.; Curran, Henry J.; Vasu, Subith S.; Pitz, William J. (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 ...
    • The oxidation of 2-butene: A high pressure ignition delay, kinetic modeling study and reactivity comparison with isobutene and 1-butene 

      Li, Yang; Zhou, Chong-Wen; Somers, Kieran P.; Zhang, Kuiwen; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2016-06-16)
      Butenes are intermediates ubiquitously formed by decomposition and oxidation of larger hydrocarbons (e.g. alkanes) or alcohols present in conventional or reformulated fuels. In this study, a series of novel igni-tion delay ...
    • An RCM experimental and modeling study on CH4 and CH4/C2H6 oxidation at pressures up to 160 bar 

      Ramalingam, Ajoy; Zhang, Kuiwen; Dhongde, Avnish; Virnich, Lukas; Sankhla, Harsh; Curran, Henry J.; Heufer, Alexander (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) ...
    • 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 ...
