Abstract
The kinetics of oxidation of blends of gas-to-liquid (GtL) jet fuel with 20% vol. of 1-hexanol was studied. New experimental results were obtained using a jet-stirred reactor (p = 10 bar, constant mean residence time of 1 s, over the temperature range 550–1150 K, and for equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1, and 2). Concentration profiles of reactants, stable intermediates, and final products were obtained by probe sampling followed by on-line and off-line gas chromatography analyses and on-line Fourier transformed infra-red spectrometry. A comparison with corresponding results for Jet A-1 and pure GtL showed these fuels have similar combustion properties. The oxidation of the GtL-hexanol fuel under these conditions was modeled using a detailed kinetic reaction mechanism consisting of 8217 reactions and 2185 species and a 4-component surrogate fuel mixture (n-decane, iso-octane, n-propyl cyclohexane, and 1-hexanol). The proposed kinetic model showed good agreement with the presently reported jet-stirred reactor concentration profiles.
