Journal ArticleDOI
A new era for combustion research
TL;DR: The role of the molecular fuel structure is emphasized for the formation of certain regulated and unregulated species from individual fuels and their mixtures, exemplarily including fuel compounds such as alkanes, alkenes, ethers, alcohols, ketones, esters, and furan derivatives as discussed by the authors.

Global sensitivity analysis of n-butanol reaction kinetics using rate rules
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the sensitivity of the ignition delay time, τign, of n-butanol to uncertainties in the rate-rule kinetic rate parameters, at various initial temperatures (600-1000 K), pressures (10-80 bar), and equivalence ratios (05-20) and showed that τign is mostly sensitive to variations in four dominant reaction classes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autoignition of diethyl ether and a diethyl ether/ethanol blend
TL;DR: In this paper, a 50/50-M binary blend of diethyl ether and ethanol (DEE/EtOH) was investigated in a shock tube and a rapid compression machine.

Comparison of macroscopic spray characteristics between biodiesel-pentanol blends and diesel
Fengyu Li,Wei Fu,Bolun Yi,Lanbo Song,Tao Liu,Xinhua Wang,Chengxin Wang,Yanyan Lei,Qizhao Lin +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, high-speed Schlieren photography was used to capture the spray images and analyzed the spray characteristics of diesel and biodiesel-pentanol blends, showing that diesel showed the longest and shortest spray tip penetration, smallest and largest spray cone angle, the smallest and the largest R (ratio between the liquid core area and the spray area), respectively.

An improved detailed chemical kinetic model for C3-C4 linear and iso-alcohols and their blends with gasoline at engine-relevant conditions
Chiara Saggese,Charlotte M. Thomas,Scott W. Wagnon,Goutham Kukkadapu,Song Cheng,Dongil Kang,S. Scott Goldsborough,William J. Pitz +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a kinetic model with improved thermochemistry and reaction kinetics was developed based on recent theoretical calculations of H-atom abstraction and peroxy radical reaction rates for pure C3-C4 linear and iso-alcohols and their blends with gasoline at engine-relevant conditions.

Mechanism and modeling of nitrogen chemistry in combustion
James A. Miller,Craig T. Bowman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanisms and rate parameters for the gas-phase reactions of nitrogen compounds that are applicable to combustion-generated air pollution are discussed and illustrated by comparison of results from detailed kinetics calculations with experimental data.

Environmental, economic, and energetic costs and benefits of biodiesel and ethanol biofuels
TL;DR: Transportation biofuels such as synfuel hydrocarbons or cellulosic ethanol, if produced from low-input biomass grown on agriculturally marginal land or from waste biomass, could provide much greater supplies and environmental benefits than food-basedBiofuels.
