Assessing the predictions of a NOx kinetic mechanism on recent hydrogen and syngas experimental data
Zhang, Yingjia; Mathieu, Olivier; Petersen, Eric L.; Bourque, Gilles; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2017-05-02)A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed to describe the pyrolysis and oxidation of the hydrogen/NOx and syngas/NOx systems. The thermodynamic data of nitrogenous compounds have been updated based on the ... -
The combustion kinetics of the lignocellulosic biofuel, ethyl levulinate
Ghosh, Manik Kumer; Howard, Mícheál Séamus; Zhang, Yingjia; Djebbi, Khalil; Capriolo, Gianluca; Farooq, Aamir; Curran, Henry J.; Dooley, Stephen (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 ... -
An experimental and chemical kinetic modeling study of 1,3-butadiene combustion: Ignition delay time and laminar flame speed measurements
Zhou, Chong-Wen; Li, Yang; Burke, Ultan; Banyon, Colin; Somers, Kieran P.; Ding, Shuiting; Khan, Saadat; Hargis, Joshua W.; Sikes, Travis; Mathieu, Olivier; Petersen, Eric L.; AlAbbad, Mohammed; Farooq, Aamir; Pan, Youshun; Zhang, Yingjia; Huang, Zuohua; Lopez, Joseph; Loparo, Zachary; Vasu, Subith S.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2018-09-10)Ignition delay times for 1,3-butadiene oxidation were measured in five different shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at thermodynamic conditions relevant to practical combustors. The ignition delay times ... -
A kinetic modelling study of alcohols operating regimes in a HCCI engine
Pelucchi, Matteo; Bissoli, Mattia; Rizzo, Cristina; Zhang, Yingjia; Somers, Kieran; Frassoldati, Alessio; Curran, Henry J.; Faravelli, Tiziano (SAE International, 2017-09-04)Pursuing a sustainable energy scenario for transportation requires the blending of renewable oxygenated fuels such as alcohols into commercial hydrocarbon fuels. From a chemical kinetic perspective, this requires the ... -
A kinetics and dynamics study on the auto-ignition of dimethyl ether at low temperatures and low pressures
Huan, Wenlin; Zhao, Qian; Huang, Zuohua; Curran, Henry J.; Zhang, Yingjia (Elsevier, 2020-09-14)Though the combustion chemistry of dimethyl ether (DME) has been widely investigated over the past decades, there remains a dearth of ignition data that examines the low-temperature, low-pressure chemistry of DME. In this ... -
Probing the antagonistic effect of toluene as a component in surrogate fuel models at low temperatures and high pressures. A case study of toluene/dimethyl ether mixtures
Zhang, Yingjia; Somers, Kieran P.; Mehl, Marco; Pitz, William J.; Cracknell, Roger F.; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2016-07-12)There is a dearth of experimental data which examine the fundamental low-temperature ignition (T < 900 K) behavior of toluene resulting in a lack of data for the construction, validation, and interpretation of chemical ... -
Probing the low-temperature chemistry of ethanol via the addition of dimethyl ether
Zhang, Yingjia; El-Merhubi, Hilal; Lefort, Benoîte; Le Moyne, Luis; Curran, Henry J.; Kéromnès, Alan (Elsevier, 2017-11-28)Considering the importance of ethanol (EtOH) as an engine fuel and a key component of surrogate fuels, the further understanding of its auto-ignition and oxidation characteristics at engine-relevant conditions (high pressures ... -
Towards a kinetic understanding of the NOx promoting-effect on ignition of coalbed methane: A case study of methane/nitrogen dioxide mixtures
Deng, Fuquan; Yang, Feiyu; Zhang, Peng; Pan, Youshun; Bugler, John; Curran, Henry J.; Zhang, Yingjia; Huang, Zuohua (Elsevier, 2016-05-03)Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is an important impurity in coal-bed methane (CBM) and a dominant component of NOx pollution in practical engines. Its promoting effect on methane ignition has been studied in the current experimental ...
