2. 1. A Detailed Modeling Study for Primary Reference Fuels and Fuel Mixtures and Their Use in Engineering Applications

   Author : Syed Ahmed; Förbränningsfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Teknik; Detailed mechanism; Lumping procedure; Reduction technique.; Technological sciences; Fuel blends; n-heptane; Primary Reference Fuels PRF ; Toulene; iso-octane;

   Abstract : The aim of this work is to generate detailed and simplified kinetic models for the oxidation of the Primary Reference Fuels (PRF) n-heptane, iso-octane and their mixtures, with low numbers of species and reactions. These mechanisms are consistent in terms of the choice of kinetic parameters for the different reaction classes. READ MORE

4. 2. Kinetic modelling of autoignition phenomena

   Author : David Johansson; Pehr Björnbom; Johan Andrae; Ulf Henriksson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Chemical engineering; Kemiteknik;

   Abstract : To fully understand the elementary reactions behind the ignition of automotive fuels the interaction between the fuel components must be known. The ignition initiation is most often caused by loss of an H radical from a reactive fuel molecule, for example n-heptane. The formed alkyl radical is prone to react with oxygen under lean conditions. READ MORE

5. 3. Automatic Analysis and Reduction of Reaction Mechanisms for Complex Fuel Combustion

   Author : Daniel Nilsson; Förbränningsfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydraulik; Complex fuel combustion; Reduced kinetic models; skeletal mechanism; QSSA; hydraulics; Mechanical engineering; vacuum technology; Maskinteknik; vibration and acoustic engineering; vakuumteknik; vibrationer; akustik; Physics; Fysik; Chemistry; Kemi; Fysicumarkivet A:2001:Nilsson;

   Abstract : This work concentrates on automatic procedures for simplifying chemical models for realistic fuels using skeletal mechanism construction and Quasi Steady-State Approximation (QSSA) applied to detailed reaction mechanisms. To automate the selection of species for removal or approximation, different indices for species ranking have thus been proposed. READ MORE

6. 4. Development of Zonal Models for Analysis of Engine Knock

   Author : Shahrokh Hajireza; Värmeöverföring; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; homogeneous autoignition; engine knock; Zonal modeling; SI engine; hot-spot autoignition; exothermic centers; wall heat transfer; application of detailed chemical kinetic mechanism of n-heptane and iso-octane; Motors and propulsion systems; Motorer; framdrivningssystem;

   Abstract : Autoignition in SI engines is an abnormal combustion mode and may lead to engine knock which is an undesired phenomenon in SI engines. It may cause damage and it is a source of noise in engines. Knock limits the compression ratio of the engine and a low compression ratio means low fuel conversion efficiency of the engine. READ MORE
