Kinetic Models and Surrogate Mixtures Needed for Simulation of Combustion in Engines

Chemical Kinetic Models for New Fuels Blended with Gasoline and Diesel Fuels
Develop chemical kinetic models for fuel components, fuel blends, and surrogate fuels to represent real fuels. These models can be used to simulate autoignition and flame speeds over a wide range of temperatures, pressures, equivalence ratios, and EGR, and be exercised to cover engine-relevant pressure-temperature trajectories.

Reduced Kinetic Mechanisms for New Fuels and Blended with Gasoline or Diesel Fuels
Reduced mechanisms for fuel components, fuel blends, and surrogate mixtures (to represent real fuels) will be developed to target key qualities (ignition phasing, flame speed, heat release rate, emissions) over a wide range of temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio and EGR. Read More

Surrogate Mixtures Developed to Represent Real Fuel Properties
Surrogates for gasoline, diesel, and their mixtures with new fuels are developed to match desired fuel properties including RON, MON, cetane number, distillation curve, H/C ratio, density, carbon types, chemical classes, PMI and yield-sooting index (YSI). Read More
