Abstract
This work presents the results of an experimental and computational study of methyl trans-3-hexenoate autoignition. Experimental autoignition studies were conducted using the University of Michigan rapid compression facility. Pressure time histories were used to determine ignition delay times as a function of test gas composition and experimental conditions. The fuel/oxygen equivalence ratio and dilution level were ϕ = 0.3 and inert/O2 = 3.76 (mole basis). End of compression conditions targeted an average pressure of 10.5 atm and temperatures ranging from 884 to 1085 K. A correlation in Arrhenius form was developed by regression analysis of the experimental data, where the ignition delay time is τign (ms) = 1.4 × 10–6 exp[30 100/(R(cal mol–1 K–1)T)] with a R2 value of 0.99. Gas-sampling experiments were also conducted to measure stable intermediates formed during autoignition. A detailed reaction mechanism was developed and model predictions were compared to the experimental data. While ignition delay ti...
