The Decomposition of Surrogate Fuel Molecules During Combustion

Abstract

This project is aimed at developing a chemical kinetic database consisting of the rate constants of fundamental single step reactions that describe the pyrolytic decomposition of surrogate fuels molecules. These reactions represent an integral part of any complete combustion kinetics database. They can be competitive with oxidation processes and hence extend the range of current combustion models to richer mixtures. They lead to the unsaturated fragments that are the inputs to PAH/SOOT models and are therefore necessary for the use of such models for the description of particle formation with realistic fuels.
