Oxidation of ethanol and hydrocarbon mixtures in a pressurised flow reactor

This paper presents a study of the oxidation of iso-octane, ethanol, toluene and their mixtures in a pressurised turbulent flow reactor operating at 900–930 K, 10 bar, and an equivalence ratio of 0.058. A large set of fuels is investigated, including neat iso-octane, ethanol, toluene, their binary mixtures, gasoline reference fuels (PRF91 and TRF91), and their mixtures with ethanol. The resulting species are measured along the length of the...
