An experimental and kinetic modeling study of combustion of isomers of butanol

Experimental and kinetic modeling study of 1-hexanol combustion in an opposed-flow diffusion flame

“…It is possible that a correction may be required to account for the conduction through the coating layer. In the study by Grana et al [18], the maximum temperature measured by an uncoated thermocouple for an n-butanol flame was about 200 K higher than that measured with a coated thermocouple. The peak temperature measured with the coated thermocouple is shown to be about 100 K lower than the predicted temperature.…”

“…To complement the study conducted by Sarathy et al, Grana et al [18] conducted an experimental and kinetic study on the combustion of the four isomers of butanol (e.g., n-butanol, iso-butanol, sec-butanol, and tert-butanol) in a counterflow, non-premixed configuration. The development of the detailed chemical kinetic mechanism for the butanol isomers found in this study was based on a hierarchal approach.…”

“…The thermocouple wires are supported in two ceramic insulator tubes 18 , which are mounted to a plate with bolts. In contrast to the apparatus presented by McEnally et al [58], a spring was not The positive and negative wires are connected to an R-type extension wire, which carries the measured signal to a digital thermometer where the temperature is read 19 .…”

“…Since the announcement of the joint venture between BP and DuPont to produce biobutanol in 2006, numerous studies n-butanol have been conducted to address its fundamental combustion characteristics [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20]. Like ethanol, butanol can be produced from the fermentation of lignocellulosic biomass using microorganisms [21].…”

Combustion Characteristics of C5 Alcohols and a Skeletal Mechanism for Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Combustion Simulation

“…Therefore, higher alcohol fuels, such as C 4 and C 5 alcohols, have been studied as next-generation biofuels, and extensive combustion chemistry studies on butanol isomers have been conducted over the last several years. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The physical and chemical properties 1 of several alcohol fuels are presented in Table 1.…”
