A comprehensive experimental and kinetic modeling study of the ignition delay time (IDT) characteristics of some binary blends of C-1-C-2 gaseous hydrocarbons such as methane/ethylene, methane/ethane, and ethane/ethylene was performed over a wide range of composition (90/10, 70/30, 50/50%), temperature (similar to 800-2000 K), pressure (similar to 1-40 bar), equivalence ratio (similar to 0.5-2.0), and dilution (similar to 75-90%). An extensive literature review was conducted, and available data were extracted to create a comprehensive database for our simulations. Based on the existing literature data, an experimental matrix was designed using the Taguchi approach (L-9) in order to identify and complete the experimental matrix required to generate a comprehensive experimental IDT set necessary for the validation of a chemical kinetic model. The required high- and low-temperature IDTs were collected using low-/high-pressure shock tubes and rapid compression machines, respectively. The predictions of NUIGMech1.0 are examined versus all of the available experimental data, including those taken in the current study using the IDT simulations and a correlation technique. Moreover, the individual effect of the studied parameters, including mixture composition, pressure, equivalence ratio, and dilution on IDT, is investigated over the studied temperature range. Correlations that were developed based on NUIGMech1.0 are presented for each specific blended fuel over the conditions studied. These correlations show an acceptable performance versus the experimental data.
