Auto-ignition process of stoichiometric mixture of methane-air is investigated using detailed chemical kinetics in a single-zone combustion chamber. Effect of initial temperature on start of combustion (SOC). The Arrhenius expression for…
The Minimum Ignition Energy (MIE) of an initially Gaussian temperature profile is found both by Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) and from a new novel model. The model is based on solving the heat diffusion equation in zero dimensions for…
New experimental data are collected for methyl-cyclohexane (MCH) autoignition in a heated rapid compression machine (RCM). Three mixtures of MCH/O2/N2/Ar at equivalence ratios of $\phi$=0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 are studied and the ignition delays…
New multipurpose skeletal and reduced chemical-kinetic mechanisms for ethanol combustion are developed, along the same philosophical lines followed in our previous work on methanol. The resulting skeletal mechanism contains 66 reactions,…
Fuel-flexible, low-carbon combustion systems need to accommodate methane/hydrogen mixtures with air and exhaust-gas dilution. To develop these, we require accurate and efficient correlations for laminar flame speed (LFS). In this work, we…
Environmental molecular beam experiments are used to examine water interactions with liquid methanol films at temperatures from 170 K to 190 K. We find that water molecules with 0.32 eV incident kinetic energy are efficiently trapped by the…
39 detailed mechanisms for combustion of hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methanol are investigated using ReactionKinetics, a Mathematica based package. The obtained results in most cases do not depend on the choice of reaction rate…
The free energy profile of a reaction can be estimated in a molecular-dynamics approach by imposing a mechanical constraint along a reaction coordinate (RC). Many recent studies have shown that the temperature can greatly influence the path…
Accurate low dimension chemical kinetic models for methane are an essential component in the design of efficient gas turbine combustors. Kinetic models coupled to computational fluid dynamics (CFD) provide quick and efficient ways to test…

In the present work we compare reliability of several most widely used reduced detailed chemical kinetic schemes for hydrogen-air and hydrogen-oxygen combustible mixtures. The validation of the schemes includes detailed analysis of 0D and…
Model reduction methods are relevant when the computation time of a full convection-diffusion-reaction simulation based on detailed chemical reaction mechanisms is too large. In this article, we review a model reduction approach based on…
Methane pyrolysis provides a scalable alternative to conventional hydrogen production methods, avoiding greenhouse gas emissions. However, high operating temperatures limit economic feasibility on an industrial scale. A major scientific…
Ignition and combustion behavior in the second stage of a sequential combustor are investigated numerically at atmospheric pressure for pure CH4 fueling and for a CH4/H2 fuel blend in 24:1 mass ratio using Large Eddy Simulation (LES). Pure…
Spark ignition of ethanol droplet/vapor/air mixture is studied with a Eulerian-Eulerian method and detailed chemical mechanism. The flame kernel-droplet interaction is quantified with an evaporation completion front (ECF). Two categories of…
The minimum energy path (MEP) describes the mechanism of reaction, and the energy barrier along the path can be used to calculate the reaction rate in thermal systems. The nudged elastic band (NEB) method is one of the most commonly used…
In the present work, we illustrate the process of constructing a simplified model for complex multi-scale combustion systems. To this end, reduced models of homogeneous ideal gas mixtures of methane and air are first obtained by the novel…
Many algorithms for finding reaction pathways require an initial estimate of the minimum energy path (MEP). Most estimation methods use a variational approach and thus must be seeded from an even simpler path, such as one generated by…
One of the most important and difficult parts of constructing a multidimensional numerical simulation of flame acceleration and deflagration-to-detonation transition (DDT) in a reacting flow is finding a reliable and affordable model of the…
