Journal ArticleDOI
Role of O2 + QOOH in low-temperature ignition of propane. 1. Temperature and pressure dependent rate coefficients.
TL;DR: The results confirm that n-propyl is the smallestAlkyl radical to exhibit the low-temperature combustion properties of larger alkyl radicals, but n-butyl is perhaps a truer combustion archetype.
Journal ArticleDOI
Database of Small Molecule Thermochemistry for Combustion
TL;DR: High-accuracy ab initio thermochemistry is presented for 219 small molecules relevant in combustion chemistry, including many radical, biradical, and triplet species, and the present values are the most accurate and comprehensive numbers available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Understanding low-temperature first-stage ignition delay: Propane
Shamel S. Merchant,C. Franklin Goldsmith,C. Franklin Goldsmith,Aäron G. Vandeputte,Michael P. Burke,Michael P. Burke,Stephen J. Klippenstein,William H. Green +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first-stage ignition delay for low-temperature auto-ignition of propane has been investigated in the context of longer alkane fuels and the analysis has been extended to longer alkyl radicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic estimation of pressure-dependent rate coefficients
TL;DR: A general framework is presented for accurately and efficiently estimating the phenomenological pressure-dependent rate coefficients for reaction networks of arbitrary size and complexity using only high-pressure-limit information and three methods of simplifying the full master equation model of the network are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temperature and Pressure-Dependent Rate Coefficients for the Reaction of Vinyl Radical with Molecular Oxygen
C. Franklin Goldsmith,C. Franklin Goldsmith,Lawrence B. Harding,Yuri Georgievskii,James A. Miller,Stephen J. Klippenstein +5 more
TL;DR: A new method is described for computing the interaction potential for R + O2 reactions, which decreases the uncertainty in the doublet potential and thence the rate constants by more than a factor of 2.
