The pyrolysis of three linear carbonates-dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate
(DEC), and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC)-was investigated behind reflected shock waves …

The oxidation of ethanol was investigated in shock tubes by measuring ignition delay times
and water time history profiles. A laser absorption technique was used in the latter case …

Time-histories of the concentration of major products of ethanol pyrolysis at 1 atm and 10
atm in the temperature range of 1200–1600 K were measured behind reflected shock waves …

Shock-tube species time histories can be used to generate multiple validation targets to
develop and validate detailed chemical kinetics mechanisms. In this study, new shock-tube …

Ethanol oxidation was studied by measuring CO time-histories and ignition delay times
behind reflected shockwaves at elevated pressures. In this study, experimental conditions …

Species concentration (eg CO) and temperature measurements in the combustion field
require fast-response technique without interfering species. In the last decade, tunable …

To reduce the reliance on fossil fuels in the transportation sector and increase combustion
efficiency, the Co-Optima initiative from US Department of Energy identified the top 10 …

To improve detailed chemical kinetics models, the oxidation of methanol was investigated
behind reflected shock waves in shock tubes. Ignition delay times of methanol–air mixtures …

This study used shock tube and laser absorption spectroscopy to simultaneously measure
temperature and CO-concentration time-histories behind reflected shock waves during the …

To use piston engines and their pressure and temperature histories as a chemical rector to
produce valuable chemicals, accurate chemical kinetics models are necessary so the …
