(2013-04-05)Combustion is responsible for providing energy for many applications, especially in propulsion and rocket propellants. Shock tubes provide a controlled, repeatable means of studying combustion characteristics; although, ...
-
(2011-02-22)Stemming from a continuing demand for fuel surrogates, composed of only a few species, combustion of high-molecular-weight hydrocarbons (>C5) is of scientific interest due to their abundance in petroleum-based fuels, which ...
-
(2020-08-27)A new shock-tube facility for the study of gas- and condensed-phase measurements has been developed for the investigation of various hydrocarbon species. At present, the shock-tube facility is intended for studying combustion ...
-
(2019-05-28)A direct numerical simulation (DNS) of a propagating H2-air flame in a semi-confined geometry is performed and analyzed. Simulation setup imitates the flow conditions in the Turbulent Shock Tube (TST) facility developed ...
-
(2015-12-02)Secondary dust explosions in coal mines or industrial settings are known to cause greater catastrophic hazards than the coupled primary explosions themselves. The shock waves produced during a primary explosion, which are ...
-
(2018-06-19)Multicomponent fuels, such as kerosene and diesel fuel, are the primary source of energy powering the engines used in the transportation sector. The study of these fuels is essential to improving engine efficiency and ...
-
(2012-10-19)Applications of natural gases that contain high levels of hydrogen have become a primary interest in the gas turbine market. For reheat gas turbines, understanding of the ignition delay times of high-hydrogen natural gases ...
-
(2022-05-23)Avoiding global warming necessitates using alternative fuels on a large scale to decarbonize the power generation sector. Ammonia (NH₃), the second-most produced chemical globally, is a carbon-free fuel that has the potential ...
-
(2015-04-16)For decades Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) has been used to mitigate several issues related to gas turbine operation: CO2 sequestration; NOx formation and emission; and combustor instabilities. EGR increases CO2 concentrations ...
-
(2012-10-15)The use of chemiluminescence measurements to monitor a range of combustion processes has been a popular area of study due to their reliable and cost-effective nature. Electronically excited carbon dioxide (CO2*) is known ...
-
(2018-07-05)The thermal decomposition of ethanol has been studied under pyrolytic conditions behind reflected shock waves in the 1250 to 1677 K temperature range, at an average pressure of 1.31 atm for a mixture highly diluted in Ar. ...
-
(2010-07-14)Shock accelerated flows exhibit some of the most violent and complex mechanisms in nature by which two separate fluids can be mixed. The Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) is generated when a perturbed interface between ...
