报告简介：

The increasing energy needs and green environment desires presents one of the major challenges for mankind. This requires us to be able to both maximize the efficiency of fuel applications as well as minimize negative impacts on the environment. This talk focus on the development and utilization of reaction models to acquire fundamental understanding of energy conversions, anchoring to the above two goals.

Firstly, a reaction model was developed and used to understand formation of molecular weight growth (MWG) species, which are most responsible of soot or deposit generation, during hydrocarbon conversions. The second part deals with the combustion modeling of real liquid jet fuels through the development and applications of a new and hybrid chemistry model. A typical multicomponent liquid jet fuels is a mixture of hundreds to thousands of species, presenting great challenges in kinetic modeling. Unlike the conventional surrogate approach that has been in use for decades, this new approach in principle is more accurate and efficient, and can be adopted into computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations. The last part briefly discusses a proposed method to maximize fuel performance by the incorporation of nanoparticles as catalysis.
