The combustion of kerosene: Experimental results and kinetic modelling using 1- to 3-component surrogate model fuels

A comprehensive detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism for combustion of n-alkane hydrocarbons from n-octane to n-hexadecane

“…Cathonnet, Dagaut and co-workers have developed a large variety of kinetic mechanisms including those for n-decane and nhexadecane [46][47][48][49][50][51]. Many of these mechanisms have been tested through comparisons between model calculations and experimental results from jet-stirred reactor (JSR) within the intermediate and high temperature regime.…”

“…Dagaut et al [48,49,51] used n-decane as a surrogate for kinetics of kerosene for jet engine simulations. More recently, their work [50,51] has focused on using n-decane together with other surrogate compounds, especially cyclo-alkanes and aromatics, to better represent the soot production and emissions properties of kerosene.…”

Development of an Experimental Database and Kinetic Models for Surrogate Diesel Fuels

“…Of these, n-decane has received the most attention in fundamental experiments and computational kinetic model development. For example, n-decane oxidation was explored in a jet-stirred reactor at temperatures of 900-1300 K, 0.1 MPa pressure, and equivalence ratios of 0.5-2 [54] to obtain concentration profiles of intermediate species.…”

“…Dagaut conducted jet-stirred reactor studies of binary blends of n-decane with either n-propylbenzene or n-propylcyclohexane, as well as ternary blends of these three components [54]. Their studies, carried out over the intermediate temperature range (900-1300 K), atmospheric pressure, and equivalence ratio range of 0.5-2.0, indicated that the ternary mixture reproduced best the species profiles of kerosene.…”

Exploring flux representations of complex kinetics networks

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] As the kinetic models are developed to describe more complex systems for a wide range of applications, the reaction mechanisms will continue to increase in size. Both the development and the implementation of the detailed mechanisms require the understanding of species and reaction pathways through kinetic analysis.…”
