Abstract


The oxidative behavior of the iso-octane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) has been studied in a range of experimental facilities in order to investigate the relatively unexplored combustion chemistry of the title species and to provide combustor relevant experimental data. The ignition of iso-octane/air and iso-octane/O2 mixtures was studied at temperatures of 600–1300 K, pressures of 1–50 atm, and equivalence ratio 0.5 to 2. This study has been conducted analytically using a kinetic scheme with 994 elementary reactions and 201 species. Cantera (an object oriented software for reacting flow) software is used in this study.
