Development of a skeletal surrogate mechanism for emulating combustion characteristics of diesel from direct coal liquefaction

A surrogate describing the oxidation characteristics of Diesel from direct coal liquefaction (DDCL) was proposed in this work. n-dodecane and decalin were chosen as representative species of alkane and cycloalkane hydrocarbons in DDCL according to compositional analysis results. A proportion of 24.6% n-dodecane and 75.4% decalin by mole was determined by emulating real DDCL properties including Cetane number (CN), Hydrogen-Carbon (H/C) ratio,...
