Abstract

The oxidation of methylcyclohexane was studied in a series of high temperature shock tube experiment. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism was assembled, and was developed and optimized to simulate both the shock tube ignition delay times and species profiles from the turbulent flow reactor study. Some rapid compression machine studies were also been carried out on the oxidation of stoichiometric methylcyclohexane mixtures at 680-880 K and compressed gas pressures of 10, 15 and 20 atm. The rapid compression machine is currently being fitted with a rapid sampling system that will allow the collection of profiles of intermediate species produced during methylcyclohexane oxidation. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 30th International Symposium on Combustion (Chicago, IL 7/25-30/2004).
