High-temperature oxidation of ethanol. Part 2.—Kinetic modelling
Abstract
The high-temperature oxidation of ethanol has been modelled in a 97-step, 30 species reaction mechanism and the results of the calculations compared with recent measurements of the ignition delays of mixtures of ethanol, oxygen and argon behind reflected shock waves in the temperature range 1080–1660 K, at pressures of 1.8–4.6 bar and with equivalence ratios of 0.25–2.
