Autoignition of ethanol in a rapid compression machine
Gaurav Mittal,Sinéad M. Burke,Varun Anthony Davies,Bikash Parajuli,Wayne K. Metcalfe,Henry J. Curran +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a chemical kinetic mechanism that can accurately predict the autoignition characteristics of ethanol at low temperatures and elevated pressures has been developed and this mechanism is compared with other models available in the literature.

Rate constants for the thermal decomposition of ethanol and its bimolecular reactions with OH and D: reflected shock tube and theoretical studies.
Raghu Sivaramakrishnan,Meng-Chih Su,Joe V. Michael,Stephen J. Klippenstein,Lawrence B. Harding,Branko Ruscic +5 more
TL;DR: The thermal decomposition of ethanol and its reactions with OH and D have been studied with both shock tube experiments and ab initio transition state theory-based master equation calculations, and a consistent description of both the decomposition (1-3) and abstraction kinetics (4 and 5) is yielded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tailoring HCCI heat-release rates with partial fuel stratification: Comparison of two-stage and single-stage-ignition fuels
TL;DR: In this paper, partial fuel stratification was used, where most fuel was premixed with intake air and the rest of the fuel was directly injected during the compression stroke to overcome the problem of overly rapid combustion at high load conditions, which can lead to engine knock and potential engine damage.

A Comprehensive Study of Methanol Kinetics in Freely-Propagating and Burner-Stabilized Flames, Flow and Static Reactors, and Shock Tubes
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed kinetic scheme was compiled which closely predicts properties of mixtures of methanol, oxygen, and inert for a variety of experimental configurations and conditions and was tested against experimental data for the propagation speeds and structure of laminar flames as well as the species concentration evolutions in flow reactors, static reactors, and shock tubes.
