A detailed chemical mechanism for low to high temperature oxidation of n-butylcyclohexane and its validation

A good knowledge of the reaction kinetics of n-butylcyclohexane, a widely used surrogate component for jet fuels and diesel, is crucial for understanding the combustion chemistry of practical fuels. This paper proposes a detailed kinetic model consisting of 1802 species and 7246 reactions to describe from low to high temperature chemistry of n-butylcyclohexane. The autoignition and oxidation of this fuel were investigated over a wide range of...
