Experimental and kinetic modeling study of the low- and intermediate-temperature oxidation of dimethyl ether

Recent experiments on low-temperature oxidation of dimethyl ether (DME) at atmospheric pressure reveal much lower fuel conversion than the predictions of all published models. Consistent with previous measurements, the present work on DME oxidation in a laminar flow reactor between 400 and 1160 K at atmospheric pressure also confirmed this behavior. To reduce the gap between model predictions and experimental results, both regarding key...
