Experimental and Modeling Study of the Oxidation of Synthetic Jet Fuels

International audienceStudies on combustion of synthetic jet fuels is of growing importance because of their potential for addressing security of supply and air transportation sustainability. The oxidation of a 100% naphthenic cut (NC) that fits with typical chemical composition of biomass or coal liquefaction products, gas-to-liquid fuel (GtL), and a GtL-NC mixture were studied in a jet-stirred reactor under the same conditions (550-1150 K; 10 bar; equivalence ratio of 0.5, 1, and 2; initial fuel concentration of 1000 ppm). Surrogate model-fuels were designed based on fuel composition and chemical properties for simulating the kinetics of oxidation of these fuels. We used model-fuels consisting of mixtures of n-decane, decalin, tetralin, 2-methylheptane, 3-methylheptane, n-propyl cyclohexane, and n-propylbenzene. The proposed detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism was validated using the full experimental database obtained for the oxidation of pure GtL, GtL-NC mixture, and pure NC. Kinetic reaction pathway analyses and sensitivity analyses were used for interpreting the results
