“…In recent years, the oxidation of Jet A-1 as well as Jet A were studied by many researchers by using few-component surrogate fuels [2,3,5,[11][12][13], including flame studies, low-temperature oxidation, and high pressure combustion investigations. A few studies of RP-3 fuel were also reported including reduced combustion kinetic models [6,[14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

The oxidation of a three-component surrogate jet fuel (consisting of n-dodecane 66.2%, n-propylbenzene 15.8% and 1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane 18.0%, in mol) was studied experimentally and numerically within a wide range of temperature, fuel equivalence ratio, and pressure. Three different experimental setups were exploited, here a jet stirred reactor (JSR), a shock tube, and a laminar burner referring to measured data of species profiles (φ = 2.0, T = 575-1100 K, p = 1 bar), ignition delay times (φ = 1.0, p = 16 atm, T = 700-1500 K), and burning velocities (T= 473 K, p = 1atm, φ = 0.6-2.0). Based on the experimental measurements, an updated detailed chemical-kinetic mechanism involving 401 species and 2838 reactions was developed, for a more detailed understanding of the oxidation and combustion of the surrogate fuel. In addition, quantum chemical methods have been applied for the determination of important initiation reactions by using the Gaussian and ChemRate software. In general, the predictions obtained with the mechanism developed in this work show a reasonable, often good agreement with respect to the measured mol fraction profiles (JSR), ignition delay time data (shock tube), and burning velocities data (flame). A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior was observed in the JSR and shock tube experiments, due to the long-chain alkanes, here n-dodecane. The NTC effect was successfully predicted by the reaction model, with the predictions matching the measurements well. From the JSR experiments, 1-octene, 2-propenylbenzene, and propene were detected by GC and GC-MS as major intermediates within the oxidation of the surrogate.

The use of kerosene in direct injection compression ignition engines is fundamentally due to the introduction of the Single Fuel Concept. As conventional direct injection compression ignition diesel engines are made specifically to use diesel fuel, the usage of kerosene will affect engine emissions and performance due to differences between the fuel properties of kerosene and diesel. As a result, in order for kerosene to be properly and efficiently used in diesel engines, it is needful for the scientific community to know the properties of kerosene, its autoignition and combustion characteristics, as well as its emissions formation behavior under diesel engine operating conditions. Moreover, it is desirable to know the progress made in the development of suitable kerosene surrogates for engine applications as it is a crucial step toward the development of reliable chemical reaction mechanisms for numerical simulations. Therefore, in this work, a comprehensive review is carried out systematically to better understand the characteristics and behavior of kerosene under direct injection compression ignition engine relevant conditions. In this review work, the fuel properties of kerosene are summarized and discussed. In addition, fundamental autoignition studies of kerosene in shock tube, rapid compression machine, fuel ignition tester, ignition quality tester, constant volume combustion chamber, and engine are compiled and evaluated. Furthermore, experimental studies of kerosene spray and combustion in constant volume combustion chambers are examined. Also, the experimental investigations of kerosene combustion and emissions in direct injection compression ignition engines are discussed. Moreover, the development of kerosene surrogates, their chemical reaction mechanisms, and the modeling of kerosene combustion in direct injection compression ignition engines are summarized and talked about. Finally, recommendations are also given to help researchers focus on the areas which are still severely lacking.

“…Design of surrogate mixtures is usually focused on the emulation of a particular property of the target fuel such as evaporation, e.g., [1][2][3][4], thermodynamic properties, e.g., [5][6][7][8][9], or combustion characteristics, e.g., [10][11][12][13]. Some advanced surrogates were also proposed to mimic a majority of the fuel properties simultaneously, e.g., [14][15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

There has been considerable progress in the area of fuel surrogate development to emulate gasoline fuels’ oxidation properties. The current paper aims to review the relevant hydrocarbon group components used for the formulation of gasoline surrogates, review specific gasoline surrogates reported in the literature, outlining their utility and deficiencies, and identify the future research needs in the area of gasoline surrogates and kinetics model.
