Abstract:Experimental and theoretical research [1] targeted towards the effect of formaldehyde on combustion has identified its OH-scavenging role and recent data suggests it plays an important role in combustion instability observed during engine cold-starting. This effect was further studied using a CFD approach and the kinetic inhibiting effect of formaldehyde on the combustion process has been found to be enhanced by thermal/diffusion effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
