An experimental and modelling study of selected oxygenated biofuels
(2014-10-13)Detailed chemical kinetic models are useful tools for the development of more efficient combustion systems. These models require validation of the elementary kinetics used in order for them to be accurate and reliable. ... -
An experimental and modelling study of the combustion of oxygenated hydrocarbons
(2014-03-19)A chemical kinetic mechanism for the combustion of acetone has been developed and compared with a range of experimental data from the literature and with species concentration profiles measured in this study in the Princeton ... -
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
(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 ... -
Experimental studies of simple hydrocarbons in a shock tube
(NUI Galway, 2020-09-24)Chemical kinetic models are needed to simulate fuel chemistry in combustion devices and to aid in the development of new designs to reduce harmful emissions and maximize combustor performance. However, these models need ... -
A High Pressure Shock Tube and Rapid Compression Machine Study of n-Butylcyclohexane and its Mixtures with n-Heptane
(2013-07-01)This study presents a high pressure experimental and modelling investigation on the ignition of n-butylcyclohexane and its mixtures with n-heptane. Mixtures were chosen to represent a surrogate for n-decylcyclohexane, a ...
