Dual-fuel combustion is an effective method to utilize methanol because of its high octane
number and latent heat of evaporation. Two ways to use methanol are discussed. One is …

In the present study, molecular dynamics simulations are conducted to investigate the
sub/supercritical phase change of alcohol (methanol and ethanol)/n-heptane mixtures …

Recently, n-butanol has emerged as a potential biofuel candidate to reduce soot emission in
diesel combustion while still able to maintain comparable engine performance. Herein, the …

The effects of different one-dimensional laminar flames on the prediction of nitrogen oxide
(NOX) emission in Sandia Flame D are numerically investigated using a flamelet method in …

In this work, the ignition and flame characteristics of pure n-dodecane (Bu0) and its blends
with n-butanol at 20%(Bu20) and 40%(Bu40) volume fraction at ambient temperatures of …

The start-of-injection (SOI) and end-of-injection (EOI) transients are important for sprays with
multiple-injection strategy. Owing to the change of needle position and sac pressure, the …

In this study, the performance of a can micro-combustor of a micro turbine is studied
experimentally. The purpose of this study is to show the coupling effect of air flow rate and …

In this work, a new n-dodecane-n-butanol-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) reduced
mechanism that consists of 105 species and 584 reactions was developed to model the …

A simplified mechanism of diesel/natural gas blend was developed for a dual fuel engine
built from a previously reported detailed mechanism of a n-dodecane and natural gas. In the …

The detailed mechanisms of n-heptane and n-butanol were reduced for the target condition
of ignition delay time using the direct relationship diagram method based on error transfer …
