Correlation of turbulent burning velocities of ethanol-air, measured in a fan-stirred bomb up to 1.2 MPa

Presented in the premier journal on combustion (high IP). For the first time, world leading measurement and analysis techniques are presented/employed to yield detailed experimental data and prediction tools simultaneously at high pressure and high turbulence. Data for several fundamental burning rate parameters is presented for this important bio-fuel. The work clarifies several definitions of burning to reconcile ambiguities found in previous works. Such data and interpretations are essential for improved engine model validation and will find application in the automotive and aircraft industries. The PhD student, Mansour, Markous.Abdo@kaust.edu.sa, has graduated and is applying the techniques developed at Leeds.
