Cyclohexane oxidation has been studied in a jet-stirred reactor in the temperature range of 750 10 1100 Kat 10 atm. Major and minor species profiles have been obtained by probe sampling and GC analysis. A chemical kinetic reaction mechanism developed from previous studies on smaller hydrocarbons is used to reproduced the experimental data. It has been updated and validated for CI to C5 submechanisms. Good agreement is obtained between computed and measured mole fractions. The major reaction paths of cyclohexane consumption and the formation and the consumption routes of the main products have been identified for our experimental conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
