Development of HyChem - A Jet and Rocket Fuel Combustion Chemistry Model

Abstract

A four-year research program is proposed to develop HyChem, a jet and rocket fuelcombustion chemistry model that is derived from a physics-based understanding of the primaryreaction pathways in fuel combustion. It combines an experimentally constrained fuel pyrolysismodel with a detailed foundational chemistry model for the oxidation of pyrolysis products todescribe and predict the combustion behaviors of real, multicomponent fuels, such as JP-8, JP-10and RP-2. The model will be delivered in a form that meets Air Force simulation needs.
