Chemical-Kinetic Characterization of Autoignition and Combustion of Diesel and JP-8

Abstract

The principal objective of the research is to obtain a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of autoignition and combustion of diesel and JP-8. Chemical-kinetic mechanisms describing autoignition and combustion of these fuels are not available. This research will address this deficiency by first developing simulated diesel and simulated JP-8 each preferably made up of three hydrocarbon compounds. Chemical-kinetic mechanisms will be developed for these hydrocarbon fuels. Experimental and numerical studies are in progress.
