Studies of low temperature oxidation of n-pentane with nitric oxide addition in a jet stirred reactor

The low temperature oxidation of n-pentane with nitric oxide (NO) addition has been investigated at 500–800 K in an atmospheric jet stirred reactor (JSR). The molar fraction of NO in the mixture is varied between 0 to 1070 ppm to study its chemical sensitization effect on low temperature oxidation of both fuel lean and rich n-pentane/oxygen mixtures. N-pentane, O2, CO, CO2, CH2O, C2H4, CH3CHO, NO, and NO2 are quantified simultaneously, in-situ...
