Counterflow flame experiments and chemical kinetic modeling of dimethyl ether/methane mixtures

As advanced engines become more controlled by the fuel reactivity, it is important to have a complete understanding of combustion chemistry of fuel blends at both high and low temperatures. While the high-temperature chemistry coupling with transport and heat release can be examined through the use of flame experiments, low-temperature chemistry has been traditionally limited to homogeneous reactor experiments at fixed temperatures, which leaves...
