DOE Project 18545, AOP Task 2.0B, CRADA with Reaction Design.

摘要

We ran 5 FACE fuels and 8 surrogate blends in diesel combustion with detailed particulate and exhaust chemistry measurements to provide data needed to develop and evaluate a kinetic model for particulate formation. Surrogate blends duplicated engine performance of real fuels. We demonstrated that a simple 2 surrogate blend is capable of duplicating the range of engine response for the FACE fuels, but that further tuning and complexity will be needed to reproduce emissions. We assisted in setting up a Jaguar computer user program for bench marking parallel solvers for chemistry in GPU machine environment. This program has just been approved by the Jaguar user facility and will begin in 2012.
