Construction and derivation of a series of skeletal chemical mechanisms for n-alkanes with uniform and decoupling structure based on reaction rate rules

Yachao Chang et al.

Summary: A systematic method is proposed in this work to construct skeletal mechanisms for fuels with a similar molecular structure but different size as that of the reference fuel, by developing a skeletal mechanism for the reference fuel and extrapolating a set of skeletal mechanisms with a uniform structure. Extensive validations have shown satisfactory predictions for n-alkanes, demonstrating the potential of the present method for applications with other fuels.

Construction of reduced chemical mechanisms orientated toward specific applications: a case study of primary reference fuel

Bo Niu et al.

Summary: This study proposes a systematic method for reducing chemical mechanism in combustion simulations, focusing on specific applications. The reduction process involves the sub-mechanism reduction for large-molecule fuels and the C0-C4 sub-mechanism reduction. Various analysis methods and optimization algorithms are utilized to identify key reaction classes and optimize reaction rate coefficients. Three reduced models targeting specific applications are constructed and validated. The results demonstrate that the reduced mechanisms can achieve accurate predictions for their respective applications.

Higher Alcohol and Ether Biofuels for Compression-Ignition Engine Application: A Review with Emphasis on Combustion Kinetics

Liming Cai et al.

Summary: High molecular weight alcohol and ether fuels, with their advanced autoignition propensities and oxygenated molecular structures, show promise as future fuel candidates for compression-ignition engine applications to enhance combustion efficiencies and reduce pollutant emissions. Produced from lignocellulosic biomass as second-generation biofuels, they offer better CO2 balance and avoid adverse impacts on food supply compared to first-generation biofuel production. Research on their fundamental combustion kinetics and practical applications is crucial for their potential as renewable fuels.

Dependence of Biofuel Ignition Chemistry on OH-Initiated Branching Fractions

Samuel W. Hartness et al.

Summary: The abstraction of hydrogen by O?H is a critical initiation step in low-temperature oxidation of biofuels. The branching fractions have a significant impact on ignition chemistry, especially in the case of 1-butanol. Inconsistencies in branching fractions can result in significant differences in ignition delay times.
