FACE gasoline surrogates formulated by an enhanced multivariate optimization framework
Shane R. Daly, Kyle E. Niemeyer, William J. Cannella +1
Design and optimization of higher efficiency, lower-emission internal combustion engines are highly dependent on fuel chemistry. Resolving chemistry for complex fuels, like gasolin…
An automated target species selection method for dynamic adaptive chemistry simulations
Nicholas Curtis, Kyle Niemeyer, Chih-Jen Sung
The relative importance index (RII) method for determining appropriate target species for dynamic adaptive chemistry (DAC) simulations using the DRGEP method is developed. The accu…
Assessing impacts of discrepancies in model parameters on autoignition model performance: a case study using butanol
Sai Krishna Sirumalla, Morgan A. Mayer, Kyle E. Niemeyer +1
Side-by-side comparison of detailed kinetic models using a new tool to aid recognition of species structures reveals significant discrepancies in the published rates of many reacti…
Reduced chemistry for butanol isomers at engine-relevant conditions
Xin Hui, Kyle E. Niemeyer, Kyle B. Brady +1
Butanol has received significant research attention as a second-generation biofuel in the past few years. In the present study, skeletal mechanisms for four butanol isomers were ge…
ChemKED: a human- and machine-readable data standard for chemical kinetics experiments
Bryan W. Weber, Kyle E. Niemeyer
Fundamental experimental measurements of quantities such as ignition delay times, laminar flame speeds, and species profiles (among others) serve important roles in understanding f…
Predicting fuel research octane number using Fourier-transform infrared absorption spectra of neat hydrocarbons
Shane R. Daly, Kyle E. Niemeyer, William J. Cannella +1
Liquid transportation fuels require costly and time-consuming tests to characterize metrics, such as Research Octane Number (RON) for gasoline. If fuel sale restrictions requiring…
