Experimental and numerical characterization of freely propagating ozone-activated dimethyl ether cool flames

Experimental flame characterization is necessary for the development and validation of chemical kinetics models. Low temperature oxidation produces a cool flame, which is a combustion phenomenon resulting from negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior. Kinematic stabilization of premixed, freely propagating, ozone-activated, cool flames of dimethyl ether (DME) has been investigated at sub-atmospheric pressure of 7.3 kPa using a laminar...
