Development of a Chemical Kinetic Mechanism for Small Hydrocarbons
Burke, Sinéad M. (2014-01-07)A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed to describe the oxidation of small hydrocarbon and oxygenated hydrocarbon species. In order to understand the oxidation of large hydrocarbon and oxygenated hydrocarbon ... -
An Experimental and Modelling Study of the Oxidation of n-Propylbenzene Over a Wide Range of Temperatures and Pressures and its Comparison with n-Butylbenzene
Darcy, Daniel (2013-04-05)This study presents an experimental and modeling investigation of the ignition of n-propylbenzene and a mixture of n-propylbenzene and n-heptane. This mixture was chosen to represent a surrogate for n-decylbenzene a common ... -
Unsaturated hydrocarbon combustion chemistry and gasoline and diesel fuel ignition: Experimental and theoretical studies
Li, Yang (2017-12-04)The primary objective of the work presented in this Thesis is to investigate the oxidation chemistry of unsaturated hydrocarbons. Butenes (1-, 2-, iso-butene) and 1,3-butadiene are the shortest olefins with structural ...
