Impact of thermochemistry on optimized kinetic model predictions: Auto-ignition of diethyl ether

Diethyl ether (DEE) is considered a potential diesel substitute because of its advantageous properties, such as high cetane number and liquid state at ambient conditions. In the present study, an optimized kinetic model for auto-ignition of DEE is developed based on a mechanism from the literature (Sakai et al., 2017). By means of sensitivity and uncertainty analyses, the impact of kinetic and thermochemical parameters on model predictions is...
