A detailed kinetics model for the thermal oxidation of ethanol-air mixtures at intermediate temperatures and high pressures is proposed and validated against ignition delay times measured in a shock tube under stoichiometric conditions at 10, 30, and 50 bar and for lean mixtures (φ = 0.3) at 30 bar in the 650-1220 K temperature range. The measurements showed a typical decrease of the ignition delay at low temperatures and a reduced sensitivity to pressure for higher pressures. All data were scaled to 30 bar by a multiple linear regression, yielding τ = τ 30 (p/30) -0.88 . A temperature dependence of τ/(p/bar) -0.88 = 10 -3.21 exp(139 kJ/mol/RT) μs was derived for the stoichiometric mixture. The chemical kinetics model was built upon sub-mechanisms for ethanol (
