Chemical Reactor Network for LDI Combustor: CRN development and Analysis of Different Fuels

Prediction of emissions from combustion systems is a complex problem involving the coupling between the flow field and chemistry. CFD analysis is the most commonly employed approach. However, it has the drawback that a very high computational cost prevents the use of detailed chemistry models. This master thesis, which focuses on NOx emissions,...
