A kinetic model for methyl decanoate combustion

A detailed kinetic model for the oxidation of the biodiesel surrogate, methyl decanoate, has been developed and tested against a broad range of experimental data. The methyl decanoate model consists of both low and high temperature oxidation chemistry. It has been constructed strictly through the extension of the chemical kinetic and thermochemical parameters used to describe the oxidation of the better-understood small methyl ester, methyl...
