Abstract: The purpose of this study was to characterize experimental nheptane combustion behavior in a directinjection constantvolume combustion chamber (DICVCC), using chamber pressure to infer ignition delay and heatrelease rate. ...

Abstract: A vessel has been designed for nonreacting fuelinjection experiments with continuous flow of sweep gas at pressures up to 1380 kPa and temperatures up to 200 آ°C. Four orthogonal windows provide optical access for ...

Abstract: Energetic nanoparticles are promising fuel additives due to their high specific surface area, high energy content, and catalytic capability. Novel amorphous reactive mixed-metal nanopowders (RMNPs) containing Ti, Al, and ...

Abstract: In order to understand the reasons for the apparent benefits of using a flow-blurring (FB) atomizer in a combustion system, it is necessary to first examine fundamental spray characteristics under nonreacting conditions. ...
