An experimental study of n-dodecane and the development of an improved kinetic model

This work presents new fundamental combustion experimental datasets and propose an improved kinetic model for n-dodecane, a widely used surrogate component for jet fuels and diesel. In the experiments, ignition delay times for n-dodecane, were measured over low-to-high temperature range by combining a heated rapid compression machine (RCM) and a heated shock tube (ST). The measurements cover a wide range of temperatures (621–1320 K), pressures...
