Isooctane combustion in a flat flame

High Pressure Oxidation of Liquid Fuels From Low to High Temperature. 1. n-Heptane and iso-Octane.

“…Lignola et al (1988) studied the dynamics of the oxidation of an n-heptane/air mixture at 573-840Kand 12 atm in a stainless steel jet stirred reactor (JSR), Ciezki and Adomeit (1988) measured ignition delay times of n-heptane in shock tube (I ::; ¢ ::; 1.25, 3.5-49bar, 700-1500K), Chakir et al (1992) studied the oxidation of n-heptane at latm in a JSR (0.2 ::; ¢ ::; 2, 950-1200K) where they measured species profiles. Among the recent studies dealing with iso-octane oxidation, Axelsson and Rosengren (1985) measured species profiles in a flat flame at 0.88atm (¢=O.84), Dryer and Brezinsky (1986) measured species profiles from the oxidation of a stoichiometric iso-octane mixture at~1100K and latm in the Princeton turbulent flow reactor, Burcat et al (1989) studied the ignition delays of iso-octane (¢=0.33-4, 1200-1800K), Lignola et al (1988) studied the dynamics of the oxidation of an iso-octane/air mixture at 573-840K and 12atm in a stainless steel JSR, D' Anna et al (1992) measured species profiles from the oxidation of an iso-octane-air mixture in the same reactor at 7 and 9 atm and 600-760K. As part of a continuing effort to get better understanding of hydrocarbons oxidation chemistry in a wide range of operating conditions, we have experimentally investigated the kinetics of n-heptane and iso-octane oxidation from low to high temperature (550-1150K) in a jet-stirred reactor operating at lOatm.…”
