Chemical effects of ferrocene and 2-ethylhexyl nitrate on a low-octane gasoline: An experimental and numerical RCM study

Evaluation of Detailed Reaction Models for the Modeling of Double Cellular Structures in Gaseous Nitromethane Detonation

“…Table 1 presents the three reaction models that we employed in this study: Djebaili-Chaumeix et al [3], Mathieu et al [6], and Le et al [12]. Only a brief presentation is performed in this section and more details can be found in [3,6,12]. Djebaili-Chaumeix's reaction model [3] (Chaumeix) is composed of 69 species and 368 reactions.…”

“…It has been validated on a large of set of ignition delays for highly-diluted (𝑥 𝐴𝑟 = 90 − 99 %) CH 3 NO 2 -O 2 -Ar mixtures. Le's reaction model [12] is composed of 1721 and 8011 reactions. This reaction model is the largest and the most recent reaction model among the three.…”

“…This works aims at evaluating the performance of three reaction models (Djebaili-Chaumeix et al [3], Mathieu et al [6], and Le et al [12]) to reproduce both the single and the double cellular structures observed during pure CH 3 NO 2 and CH 3 NO 2 -O 2 detonations. The reaction models are evaluated with a validation dataset composed of 47 experimental cell size measurements from both Sturtzer et al [2] and Presles et al [1].…”

Antioxidant effect of 2–4 xylenol on fuel oxidation in liquid and gas phase over a wide temperature range

“…For comparison, Figure 6 compares the effect of 2,4-xylenol to that of usual additives: EHN and ferrocene, which are respectively conventional cetane booster and octane boosters. The chemical effect of these additives, used to control the gas-phase reactivity during fuel combustion, has been thoroughly analyzed and modelled in previous studies [14,15]. In the experimental conditions P c =10 bar and Φ = 1, EHN strongly promotes the reactivity over the whole range of temperature studied.…”

“…stability improvers, octane/cetane boosters, corrosion inhibitors, anti-static, anti-foam, lubricity, deposit-control 3 additives, etc. Cetane and octane improvers increase or reduce the tendency to auto-ignition of diesel fuels and gasolines, respectively [14,15]. Antioxidants are added to limit liquid fuel and engine lubricant autooxidation [16].…”
