Kinetic effects of n-propylbenzene on n-dodecane counterflow nonpremixed cool flames

The development of alternative drop-in fuels and fuel blends with petroleum-derived fuels necessitate an understanding of the kinetic interactions between aromatics and alkanes for the development of advanced low-temperature combustion engines. In the present study, the role of aromatic chemistry on n-alkane low-temperature chemistry is investigated by using nitrogen-diluted nonpremixed cool flames of n-dodecane/n-propylbenzene blends in an...
