A high pressure oxidation study of di-n-propyl ether

The oxidation of di-n-propyl-ether (DPE), was studied in a jet-stirred reactor. Fuel-lean, stoichiometric and fuel-rich mixtures (φ = 0.5–4) were oxidized at a constant fuel mole fraction of 1000 ppm, at temperatures ranging from 470 to 1160 K, at 10 atm, and constant residence time of 700 ms. The mole fraction profiles were obtained through sonic probe sampling and gas chromatography and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry analyses. As was...
