Laminar flow reactor experiments for ignition delay time and species measurements at low temperatures: Linear alkanes and dimethyl ether

A laminar flow reactor has been developed for measurements of first stage ignition delay times and intermediate species at low temperatures. The design concept, technical details, and data evaluation schemes are presented and discussed in detail. Ignition delays of up to one second can be measured in the laminar flow reactor, which extends the measurement range of rapid compression machines and shock tubes significantly. First stage ignition...
