Abstract

This article reports new kinetic modeling results concerning ethanol pyrolysis and oxidation. We propose a comprehensive kinetic reaction mechanism for ethanol pyrolysis and oxidation issued from detailed modeling of today’s available data including species concentration profiles measured in flow reactors during the pyrolysis and oxidation of ethanol, ignition delays measured in shock tube and ethanol-air flame speeds. The same mechanism is able to reproduce available combustion data concerning hydrogen, methane, ethylene, ethane, propene, and propane in similar conditions (1-10 atm, 800-2000K). The agreement between the data and the computed results is generally good and confirms the comprehensiveness of our C1 -C3 detailed reaction mechanism.
