Ignition delay of oxygenated fuel droplets: development of a 1 second drop tower and initial 1-g test results
… butyrate combustion. In the present study, droplet ignition delay times of methyl butyrate and methanol are investigated. A bench experiment, conducted in normal gravity, was constructed and used to determine the ignition delay times of each fuel. Normal gravity experiments were conducted on …

Lean Premixed Prevaporised Combustion for Microturbines
… flame stability, structures, gas emissions, and droplet behaviour in LPP combustion at conditions relevant for microturbines. The first part of the thesis examines the effect of fuel choice using zero- and one-dimensional combustion simulations. The fundamental flame properties of gaseous …

Auto-Ignition of Liquid n-Paraffin Fuels Mixtures as Single Droplets Using Continuous Thermodynamics
This thesis reports a model to predict the auto-ignition time of single droplets of n-paraffin fuel mixtures using the method of continuous thermodynamics. The model uses experimental data for pure fuels to fit rate parameters for a single-step global chemical reaction equation; from this, …
