Chemical Kinetic Model of a Multicomponent Gasoline Surrogate with Cross Reactions

摘要

A kinetic mechanism for a multicomponent gasoline surrogate consisting of isooctane, n-heptane, toluene, and 1-hexene is developed, including types of cross reactions. The mechanism comprises 1392 species and 6019 reactions. Validation results show good agreement with experimental observations for pure components and their various mixtures. Moreover, the multicomponent surrogate and a toluene reference fuel (TRF) surrogate are validated for a research gasoline fuel using the present model. The multicomponent surrogate perfomed better in predicting experimental data compared to the TRF surrogate because of the addition of 1-hexene. Effects of cross reactions on the ignition delays are discussed. It is found that three types of cross reactions, namely, reactions between pure components, reactions between pure components and alkylperoxy radicals, and reactions between pure components and benzylperoxy radicals, take effect for the acceleration of ignition delays in a shock tube and a homogeneous charge compression ignition engine. Accelerate effect is more pronounced at high-pressure, low temperature, and fuel-rich conditions. The model with cross reactions between pure components and alkylperoxy radicals ignites the earliest, and the model with reactions between pure components ignites the latest. Cross reactions between decomposition intermediate species (ethylene, propene, isobutene, phenyl, and benzaldehyde) have no influence on ignition delay times.
