Quantum Calculations on a New CCSD(T) Machine-Learned Potential Energy Surface Reveal the Leaky Nature of Gas-Phase Trans and Gauche Ethanol Conformers

TL;DR: In this paper , a Δ-machine learning approach was used to obtain a new ab initio potential energy surface (PES) for the ground state of the zero-point EH molecule, which is characterized by two methyl rotors and trans conformer.

Effect of hydrogen addition on equimolar dimethyl ether/iso-octane/oxygen/argon premixed flames

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of hydrogen addition on the chemical composition of laminar premixed dimethyl ether/iso-octane/oxygen/argon flames was investigated using a modified one-dimensional model (Premix) in conjunction with Chemkin II and a detailed kinetic scheme combining the chemistries of hydrogen, Dimethyl ether and iso-Octane combustion.

Two-photon-excited fluorescence of CO : Experiments and modeling

TL;DR: Simulations of CO signal versus femtosecond laser linewidth suggest the strongest signal for a transform-limited pulse, which is sufficiently broad spectrally to cover the CO Q-branch absorption spectrum.

Comparative study of the counterflow forced ignition of the butanol isomers at atmospheric and elevated pressures

TL;DR: In this paper, experimental and computational results on the non-premixed counterflow ignition of all four butanol isomers against heated air for pressures of 1-4 atm, pressure-weighted strain rates of 200-400 s −1, and fuel molar fractions in nitrogen-diluted mixtures of 0.05-0.25.

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.
