Abstract
New experimental data for ignition delay times (IDT), pyrolysis speciation profiles, and flame speed measurements are considered to investigate the combustion characteristics of propyne. IDT for propyne ignition were obtained at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 in ‘air’ at 10 and 30 bar, over a wide range of temperatures (690 K–1460 K) using a rapid compression machine and a high-pressure shock tube. Furthermore, experiments were conducted in a single-pulse shock tube to study propyne pyrolysis at 2 bar pressure and in the temperature range 1000 K–1600 K. Laminar flame speeds of propyne were examined at an unburned gas temperature of 373 K and at 1 and 2 bar for a range of equivalence ratios. This new mechanism showed remarkable improvements in the predictions for the IDT, fuel pyrolysis, and flame speeds for propyne compared to AramcoMech3.0. The improvement in fuel reactivity predictions in the new mechanism is due to the inclusion of the propyne + HO2 reaction system along with OH radical addition to the triple bonds of propyne and subsequent reactions.
