Theoretical Analysis of Otto Fuel II Combustion
Abstract
A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism (or, more simply, ~mechanism~) is a complete description of the reactions involved in the combustion of a fuel. The mechanism includes both the thermodynamic properties (e.g. enthalpy, entropy, and heat capacity as a function of temperature) of the intermediate chemical species, as well as the parameterized rate coefficients for the elementary reactions. A chemical kinetic mechanism is an essential tool in understanding the combustion properties of Otto Fuel. Since all the components in the mechanism are physically meaningful parameters, it can make accurate predictions for new conditions. Therefore, this work will try to understanding the combustion of Otto Fuel which could improve the combustion efficiency and thence extend the range of torpedoes.
