An increased necessity for energy independence and heightened concern about the effects of rising carbon dioxide levels have intensified search renewable fuels that could reduce our current consumption petrol diesel. One such fuel is biodiesel, which consists methyl esters fatty acids. Methyl butanoate (MB) contains essential chemical structure long-chain acids a shorter, but similar, alkyl chain. This paper reports on detailed kinetic mechanism MB assembled using theoretical approaches....
ABSTRACT n ‐Dodecane, a key component in diesel and aviation fuel, is commonly used to simulate real‐world fuels (Jet‐A Chinese RP‐3). Since existing ‐dodecane kinetic mechanisms may not fully address the complexities of aromatics formation during combustion, this study proposes mechanism that only extends capability predicting 16 light‐weight but also provides compact size with improved accuracy combustion characteristics. Using two‐step reduction method involving path flux analysis (PFA)...
Abstract A 3-D computational fluid dynamics model is developed to reproduce the results of previous experiments and investigate correlation between Nusselt numbers convection heat transfer phenomena surrounding an isothermal rotating cylinder. The simulation conducted in a quiescent air domain fixed Grashof number 2.32E×108 for horizontal cylinder placed with rotational speeds ranging from 2.43 103.22 RPM. effects buoyancy-induced flows Reynolds on convective characteristics are...
Transport of aerosol particles is a fundamental phenomenon in many environmental and industrial applications. Among the several computational fluid dynamical schemes used to study this problem, lattice Boltzmann methods (LBMs) have shown great promise. Using 2-D LBM model coupled with Lagrangian formalism, investigates an early stage particle–surface collisions free-stream flow over semi-infinite array staggered obstructions at operating conditions woven-wire screens. After initial...
In an attempt to construct detailed kinetic mechanisms for biodiesel fuels on the fly, high-pressure rate rules concerted HO2 elimination reaction class were derived using a comprehensive training set of more than 60 reactions involving different alkyl methyl/ethyl ester peroxy radicals (RCOOR')-OO•. Using composite electronic structure method CBS-QB3 in combination with classical statistical mechanics and transition state theory (TST) model, constants as well thermodynamic properties...
An integrated deterministic and stochastic model within the master equation/Rice-Ramsperger-Kassel-Marcus (ME/RRKM) framework was first used to characterize temperature- pressure-dependent behaviors of thermal decomposition acetic anhydride in a wide range conditions (i.e., 300-1500 K 0.001-100 atm). Particularly, using potential energy surface molecular properties obtained from high-level electronic structure calculations at CCSD(T)/CBS, macroscopic thermodynamic rate coefficients title...
This study proposes a skeletal kinetic mechanism to investigate the formation of C3–C4 hydrocarbons, carbonyls, and aromatic hydrocarbons from nonpremixed combustion ethyl propionate (EP), biodiesel surrogate. The computational procedure started with shrinking an existing detailed EP generate minimized but functionally equivalent that was then used combine previously published submodels describe polycyclic (PAHs) related compounds. newly derived EP–PAH consisting 79 species 469 reactions...
