A functional-group-based approach to modeling real-fuel combustion chemistry-III: Application to biodiesels

Xiaoyuan Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, a functional-group approach was used to model the combustion chemistry of real biodiesel and biodiesel-petroleum fuel mixtures. The approach successfully reproduced the combustion behavior of the fuels and demonstrated its potential for simulating the combustion behavior of diesel/biodiesel surrogate fuels and real biodiesels.

Automatic identification and lumping of high-temperature fuel decomposition pathways for chemical kinetics mechanism reduction

Lara Heberle et al.

Summary: The predictive capabilities of computational fluid dynamics for combustion systems rely on proper description of fuel chemistry, especially for multi-component fuel mixtures. Lumping techniques are effective for handling the complex nature of multi-component combustion chemistry, particularly high-temperature fuel decomposition reactions. A novel algorithm has been presented to automatically identify and lump high-temperature fuel decomposition reactions, showing potential as a valuable addition to existing multi-stage mechanism reduction software.

High-Temperature Pyrolysis and Combustion of C5-C19 Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs): A Lumped Kinetic Modeling Study

Xiaoyuan Zhang et al.

Summary: A lumped kinetic model for both saturated and unsaturated C-5-C-19 fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) is proposed in this work, including 52 FAME fuel components and decoupling the combustion of FAME fuels into pyrolysis and oxidation stages. The model is validated against experimental data from 20 pure FAMEs and six diesel/biodiesel surrogates, showing satisfactory performance compared to detailed models in literature.

A lumped kinetic model for high-temperature pyrolysis and combustion of 50 surrogate fuel components and their mixtures

Xiaoyuan Zhang et al.

Summary: An updated decoupling methodology was proposed to construct a 50-component fuel model for wide distillation fuels and gasoline/diesel blends. The model contains detailed combustion mechanisms and chemical classes, showing good performance in predicting experimental data and developing accurate kinetic models for multi-component fuels. Future work will focus on extending the framework to predict low-temperature combustion chemistry of multi-component fuels.

A functional-group-based approach to modeling real-fuel combustion chemistry - II: Kinetic model construction and validation

Xiaoyuan Zhang et al.

Summary: The study proposes the FGMech approach for developing surrogate and real-fuel kinetic models, with all parameters derived solely from functional group data. By comparing with experimental data, it is found that FGMech reasonably captures the experimental data, indicating promising potential for modeling fuel combustion behavior.

A functional-group-based approach to modeling real-fuel combustion chemistry - I: Prediction of stoichiometric parameters for lumped pyrolysis reactions

Xiaoyuan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study introduces an innovative approach using functional groups for mechanism development in lumped fuel chemistry modeling, which can predict stoichiometric parameters of key pyrolysis products for real fuels. The model was validated against experimental data and showed reasonable agreement, providing a foundation for modeling real-fuel combustion chemistry. Further development of the model's thermodynamic, kinetic, and transport data will be presented in a future study.
