Ignition delay control of DME/air and EtOH/air homogeneous autoignition with the use of various additives (2015)
Journal Article
Tingas, E. A., Kyritsis, D. C., & Goussis, D. A. (2016). Ignition delay control of DME/air and EtOH/air homogeneous autoignition with the use of various additives. Fuel, 169, 15-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuel.2015.11.081

The effect of selected additives on the ignition delay of ethanol (EtOH)/air and dimethylether (DME)/air mixture is investigated. Computational Singular Perturbation (CSP) tools are utilized in an effort to determine algorithmically which species to...

The mechanism by which CH2O and H2O2 additives affect the autoignition of CH4/air mixtures (2015)
Journal Article
Manias, D. M., Tingas, E. A., Frouzakis, C. E., Boulouchos, K., & Goussis, D. A. (2016). The mechanism by which CH2O and H2O2 additives affect the autoignition of CH4/air mixtures. Combustion and Flame, 164, 111-125. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.combustflame

When the fast dissipative time scales become exhausted, the evolution of reacting processes is characterized by slower time scales. Here the case where these slower time scales are of explosive character is considered. This feature allows for the acq...

Autoignition dynamics of DME/air and EtOH/air homogeneous mixtures (2015)
Journal Article
Tingas, E. A., Kyritsis, D. C., & Goussis, D. A. (2015). Autoignition dynamics of DME/air and EtOH/air homogeneous mixtures. Combustion and Flame, 162(9), 3263-3276. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.combustflame.2015.05.016

The autoignition kinetics of DME/air and EtOH/air stoichiometric mixtures are compared with the use of algorithmic tools from the CSP method at a range of initial conditions that refers to the operation of reciprocating engines. DME and EtOH are two... Read More about Autoignition dynamics of DME/air and EtOH/air homogeneous mixtures.
