Ignition delay times of conventional and alternative fuels behind reflected shock waves

A review of the combustion and emissions properties of advanced transportation biofuels and their impact on existing and future engines

“…Under high-temperature ignition conditions, FT fuels collapse onto results for Jet A [328,330], consistent with the observed lack of sensitivity of high-temperature ignition of long-chain alkanes to the hydrocarbon chain length [239,331] and the collapse of the high-temperature flame speeds [307,[315][316][317][318][319][320][321]. Other studies, based on flow reactors at low temperatures, ignition delay times, and extinction of laminar flames show that FT synthetic jet fuels can be modeled by a surrogate of n-decane and iso-octane [314].…”

Low temperature autoignition of conventional jet fuels and surrogate jet fuels with targeted properties in a rapid compression machine

“…However, a lack of data has created a push for the characterization of the ignition properties of new alternative fuels to support integration of these fuels into existing systems. Recent studies include those of Fischer-Tropsch (FT), hydroprocessed renewable jet (HRJ), alcohol to jet (ATJ), and direct sugar to hydrocarbon (DSHC) fuels [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] and references therein.…”

Combustion Chemistry Diagnostics for Cleaner Processes

“…Such mechanisms can only be predictive for a large range of conditions if they are critically validated against highest‐quality experimental data. Validation today often relies on rather global information, obtained from, for example, ignition delay times or flame speeds . However, more detailed species analysis is necessary for a comprehensive validation and can be provided for a limited range of conditions, for example, from jet‐stirred reactor experiments, typically coupled with GC analysis, or from laminar premixed low‐pressure flame investigations, often using molecular‐beam mass spectrometric (MBMS) detection .…”
