Shock Tube Measurements of Iso-octane Ignition times and Oh Concentration Time Histories

Alternative Fuels for Spark Ignition Engines

In order to reduce the atmospheric pollution emitted by automobiles, control devices are being incorporated in the vehicles in many countries. This has resulted in a reduced vehicle mileage to the extent of about fifteen percent. Without the introduction of new technology, any further reduction in emission levels would be expected to extract payment in the form of further fuel economy losses. I...

Oxidation and Ignition Characteristics of Hydrocarbon Fuels

A research program studying the oxidation and ignition characteristics of hydrocarbon fuels has been conducted. The program was initiated in October 1985 with the awarding of a research grant through the Army Research Office (Grant No. DAAG 29-85-K-0253, Project No. 22437-EG) and ran through November 1989. The research program entailed mechanistic studies examining the oxidation chemistry of si...

prediction of ignition delay period in d.i diesel engines

a semi-empirical mathematical model for predicting physical part of ignition delay period in the combustion of direct - injection diesel engines with swirl is developed . this model based on a single droplet evaporation model . the governing equations , namely , equations of droplet motion , heat and mass transfer were solved simultaneously using a rung-kutta step by step unmerical method . the...
