The perfect tool to predict liquid properties and model the combustion of complex fuel mixtures.
- Accurate prediction of liquid fuel properties
- Tailor made chemical kinectic mechanism for advanced analysis
- Constantly improved database with more than 120 components
LOGEfuel ES provides detailed and reduced reaction schemes to help you model the combustion of different fuels. In addition, LOGEfuel offers the capability to predict the properties of complex fuel mixtures and compose optimal fuels or surrogate fuels. A screening tool enables you to find the optimal fuel composition within a set of given fuel components.
LOGEfuel ES reaction schemes describe the oxidation and emission formation of various complex fuel mixtures and typical surrogate fuels for combustion modelling. Our multicomponent reaction schemes are developed to model combustion features such as ignition delay times, laminar flame speeds and predict the formation of emissions such as soot, NOx and unburned hydrocarbons. LOGEfuel ES can create look-up tables for laminar flame speeds, auto-ignition, and emission formation.
A wide range of fuel components are available covering a large variety of fuel types:
- Hydrogen and Syngas
- Natural gas (Low and High calorific)
- Ammonia
- LPG (Autogas)
- Gasoline
- Diesel and HVO Diesel
- Dual fuel solutions (e.g. premixed methanol or ammonia ignited by Diesel)
- Common oxygenated fuels and a variety of e-Fuel components
Features include
- Detailed models to predict liquid properties of complex multicomponent fuels incl. the boiling line, octane and cetane rating, density, lower heating value, heat of vaporization and many more
- A tool to find the optimal fuel blend for a given set of components
- Build up chemistry for poly-aromatic hydrocarbons compatible with common soot models
- Fast laminar flame speed table generation: For a given multicomponent mixture tables can be generated for a wide range of pressures, temperatures, fuel equivalence ratios and EGR levels
- Reaction schemes in a detailed and/or reduced state
- Compatibility with all LOGE products and common CFD solutions
LOGEfuel Expert System (LOGEfuel ES) is a powerful tool with an intuitive GUI to predict the impact of different fuel compositions on mixture properties and combustion behaviour.
LOGEfuel ES is a virtual fuel designer for multi-component fuels and e-fuels. The tool accurately predicts the distillation curves and other fuel properties for complex multi-component fuels as well as the impact of fuel composition on combustion properties such as ignition delay times, flame speed, and emission formation.
LOGEfuel ES helps to find the optimal blend for a given set of fuel components and targeted fuel properties using a unique screening process. More than 30 properties are calculated for each mixture and can be analysed directly or exported for further analysis.
