  • a rapid compression machine study of the oxidation of propane in the Negative temperature Coefficient regime
    Combustion and Flame, 2008
    Co-Authors: S. M. Gallagher, Darren Healy, Henry J. Curran, John M. Simmie, Wayne K. Metcalfe, Gilles Bourque
    Abstract:

    Abstract The oxidation of propane has been studied in the temperature range 680–970 K at compressed gas pressures of 21, 27, and 37 atm and at varying equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0. These data are consistent with other experiments presented in the literature for alkane fuels in that, when ignition delay times are plotted as a function of temperature, a characteristic Negative Coefficient behavior is observed. In addition, these data were simulated using a detailed chemical kinetic model. It was found that qualitatively the model correctly simulated the effect of change in equivalence ratio and pressure, predicting that fuel-rich, high-pressure mixtures ignite fastest, while fuel-lean, low-pressure mixtures ignite slowest. Moreover, reactivity as a function of temperature is well captured, with the model predicting Negative temperature Coefficient behavior similar to the experiments. Quantitatively the model is faster than experiment for all mixtures at the lowest temperatures (650–750 K) and is also faster than experiment throughout the entire temperature range for fuel-lean mixtures.

  • Polarity- and Shape-Switchable UWB Pulse Generation Based on a Photonic Microwave Delay-Line Filter With a Negative Tap Coefficient
    IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 2009
    Co-Authors: Hongqian Mu
    Abstract:

    A novel and simple scheme to implement a two- or three-tap photonic microwave filter with one Negative Coefficient for polarity- and shape-switchable ultrawideband (UWB) pulse generation is proposed and demonstrated. The entire system can be reconfigured as a two- or three-tap microwave delay-line filter with one Negative Coefficient realized by operating a balanced photodetector (BPD) as a single photodetector or a BPD for the generation of UWB monocycle or doublet pulses. The polarity of the generated UWB pulses can be switched by tuning the transmission axis of the arbitrary wave plate. The proposed scheme is experimentally demonstrated. Gaussian monocycle and doublet pulses with fractional bandwidths of about 174% and 141% are generated.
