RISA Study on the Emissions of Alternative Aviation Fuels
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Currently, the aviation sector is seeking for alternatives to kerosene from crude oil, as part of the efforts combating climate change by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in particular carbon dioxide (CO2), and ...
A Study on Fundamental Combustion Properties of Trimethyl Orthoformate: Experiments and Modeling
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Trimethyl orthoformate (TMOF: HC(OCH3)3) has recently been examined as a viable biofuel. TMOF is a branched isomer of oxymethylene ether-2 (OME2) that, due to its high oxygen content and lack of direct carbon-carbon bonds, ...
Reaction Model Development of Selected Aromatics as Relevant Molecules of a Kerosene Surrogate—The Importance of m-Xylene Within the Combustion of 1,3,5-Trimethylbenzene
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The development of advanced reaction models to predict pollutant emissions in aero-engine combustors usually relies on surrogate formulations of a specific jet fuel for mimicking its chemical composition. 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene ...
A Study on Fundamental Combustion Properties of Oxymethylene Ether-2
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Oxymethylene ethers (OMEn, n = 1–5) are a promising class of synthetic fuels that have the potential to be used as additives or substitutes to diesel in compression ignition engines. A comprehensive understanding of their ...
An Upgraded Chemical Kinetic Mechanism for Iso-Octane Oxidation: Prediction of Polyaromatics Formation in Laminar Counterflow Diffusion Flames
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Iso-octane is widely recognized as a prominent candidate to represent the oxidation of iso-alkanes within jet fuel and gasoline surrogates. This work evaluated a chemical kinetic mechanism for iso-octane focusing on the ...
Alternative Fuels Based on Biomass: An Experimental and Modeling Study of Ethanol Cofiring to Natural Gas
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In response to the limited resources of fossil fuels as well as to their combustion contributing to global warming through CO2 emissions, it is currently discussed to which extent future energy demands can be satisfied by ...
Alternative Fuels Based on Biomass: An Investigation of Combustion Properties of Product Gases
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Fuels from low quality feedstock such as biomass and biomass residues are currently discussed with respect to their potential to contribute to a more sustainable electrical power supply. In the present work, we report on ...
The Influence of Diluent Gases on Combustion Properties of Natural Gas: A Combined Experimental and Modeling Study
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Currently, new concepts for power generation are discussed, as a response to combat global warming due to CO2 emissions stemming from the combustion of fossil fuels. These concepts include new, lowcarbon fuels as well as ...
An Investigation of Combustion Properties of Butanol and Its Potential for Power Generation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Over the last years, global concerns about energy security and climate change have resulted in many efforts focusing on the potential utilization of nonpetroleum-based, i.e., bioderived, fuels. In this context, n-butanol ...
