NT0000752 An Experimental and Chemical Kinetics Study of the Combustion of Synga and High Hydrogen Content Fuels Penn State University & Princeton University

Robert Santoro (PSU), Fred Dryer (Princeton), & Yiguang Ju (Princeton)


Project Dates: 10/1/2009 - 9/30/2012

Area of Research: Combusion

Federal Project Manager: Mark Freeman

Project Objective: To resolve the recently noted difficulties observed in the ability of existing elementary kinetic models to predict experimental ignition delay, burning rate, and homogenous chemical kinetic oxidation characteristics of hydrogen and hydrogen/carbon monoxide fuels with air and with air diluted with nitrogen and/or carbon dioxide at pressures and dilutions in the range of those contemplated for gas turbine applicaitons with low NOx emissions.
