An ignition delay time and chemical kinetic modeling study of the pentane isomers

Ignition delay times of n-pentane, iso-pentane, and neo-pentane mixtures were measured in two shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine. The experimental data were used as validation targets for the model described in detail in an accompanying study [14]. The present study presents ignition delay time data for the pentane isomers at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 in ‘air’ (additionally, 0.3 in ‘air’ for n-, and iso-pentane) at...
