Combustion properties of n-heptane/hydrogen mixtures

Predicting the Combustion Properties of Hydrocarbon Fuel Mixtures

Study of Volumetric Properties of N,N-Dimethyl Acetamide and 1-Alkanols Binary Mixtures at 298.15 K

In this study, the densities, excess molar volumes and partial molar volumes of four binary systems containing N,N-dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) with 1-alkanols (1-butanol up to 1-heptanol) are measured at 298.15 K. The results showed both constructive and expansive excess volumetric behavior for studying binary mixtures. Deviation values of heavy alcohol have more positive and less negative excess...

Reaction Mechanisms and HCCI Combustion Processes of Mixtures of n-Heptane and the Butanols

A reduced primary reference fuel (PRF)-alcohol-di-tert-butyl peroxide (DTBP) mechanism with 108 species and 435 reactions, including sub-mechanisms of PRF, methanol, ethanol, DTBP, and the four butanol isomers, is proposed for homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engine combustion simulations of butanol isomers/nheptane mixtures. HCCI experiments fueled with butanol isomer/n-heptane m...

Variants of Mixtures: Information Properties and Applications

In recent years, we have studied information properties of various types of mixtures of probability distributions and introduced a new type, which includes previously known mixtures as special cases. These studies are disseminated in different fields: reliability engineering, econometrics, operations research, probability, the information theory, and data mining. This paper presents a holistic ...

Combustion properties of biomass

Properties of biomass relevant to combustion are briefly reviewed. The compositions of biomass among fuel types are variable, especially with respect to inorganic constituents important to the critical problems of fouling and slagging. Alkali and alkaline earth metals, in combination with other fuel elements such as silica and sulfur, and facilitated by the presence of chlorine, are responsible...
