Development of a New Skeletal Chemical Kinetic Mechanism for Ethanol Reference Fuel

A new skeletal chemical kinetic mechanism of ethanol reference fuel (including ethanol, iso-octane, n-heptane, and toluene combustion mechanisms) consisting of 62 species and 194 reactions is developed for oxidation and combustion of gasoline blend surrogate fuels. The skeletal ethanol chemical kinetic mechanism is added to the toluene reference fuel (TRF) mechanism (including iso-octane, n-heptane, and toluene combustion mechanisms) using...
