Abstract

The high temperature oxidation of ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE) with oxygen in argon diluent has been studied in reflected shock waves over the temperature range 1160 to 1830 K, with pressures of 3.5 bar and with varying equivalence ratios from 0.3 to 2.4. Measurements of the ignition delay times, characterized by chemiluminescence and pressure rise, show that the rate of oxidation is very similar to that of methyl tert-butyl ether.
