Ignition Kinetics in Fuels Oxidation

Abstract

This program studies fundamental chemical kinetics as well as its individual and coupled effects with aerodynamics on laminar nonpremixed ignition and flame propagation for hydrocarbons, through experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches. During the reporting period, three projects were undertaken, namely: (1) Experimental determination of high-pressure laminar flame speeds and kinetic modeling of carbon-monoxide I hydrogen combustion; (2) experimental and computational determination of the ignition temperatures and reaction mechanism of 1,3-butadiene at atmospheric and elevated pressures; and (3) experimental and computational studies on the ignition of the butene isomers.
