An experimental, theoretical and kinetic modelling study on the reactivity of a lignin model compound anisole under engine-relevant conditions

In this study, fundamental ignition delay time (IDT) experiments of anisole covering several compressed pressures (pc=1,2,4MPa) for stoichiometric (ϕ=1.0), lean (ϕ=0.5),and rich (ϕ=2.0) compositions at undiluted, fuel-in-air conditions to reflect application-relevant conditions, were investigated for the first time in the RCM. In addition, to increase the examinable range of temperatures and of IDTs, fundamental experiments in the shock tube...
