There is no direct experimental evidence for this complex decomposition and it may well occur by several steps [107]. However, substantial yields of unsaturated carbonyl compounds are formed particularly at high pressures [78] under initial reaction conditions where cool flames propagate. For example, the cool-flame oxidation of 2-methylpentane at 525 °C and 19.7 atm in a rapid compression machine [78] yields no less than 14 unsaturated carbonyl compounds viz acrolein, methacrolein, but-l-en-3-one, pent-2-enal, pent-l-en-3-one, pent-l-en-4-one, trans-pent-2-en-4r one, 2-methylbut-l-en-3-one, 2-methylpent-l-en-3-one, 4-methylpent-l-en-3-one, 2-methylpent-l-en-4-one, 2-methylpent-2-en-4-one, 2-methyl-pent-2-enal and 4-methylpent-2-enal. Spectroscopic studies of the preflame reactions [78] have shown that the unsaturated ketones account for ca. 90 % of the absorption which, occurs at 2600 A. At lower initial temperatures and pressures acrolein and crotonaldehyde are formed from n-pentane [69, 70] and n-heptane [82], and acrolein is also formed from isobutane [68]. [Pg.285]

Fig. 6,7. Pressure and light output records typical of those observed from the two-stage ignition of hydrocarbons. These results were obtained by the authors during the combustion of n-pentane in a rapid compression machine. The duration of the compression stroke was 22 ms, as shown in the lower pressure record. The first- and second-stage time intervals, measured from the end of compression, are marked as ti and T2 respectively. Compressed gas temperature derived from (6.16) was 740 K [49]. Fig. 6,7.

If ignition delays measured in different devices under the same conditions are brought together it becomes clear that there are incompatibilities that cannot be attributed to differences in composition or pressure. In rapid compression machines the discrepancies between different sets of results may arise from different rates of compression [142], which can affect the rate of heat transfer in the early stage of the post-compression interval as a result of the extent of gas motion that is created by the piston motion [50,102]. Ignition delays become longer as the heat loss rates are... [Pg.590]

Fig. 6. 21. Ignition delays as a function of compressed gas temperature for the normal alkanes, n-butane to n-heptane, i-octane (2,2,4-trimethylpentane) and toluene in stoichiometric proportions in air. The results were obtained in a rapid compression machine at a compressed gas density of 128 mol m (0.65-0.75 MPa). Ignition in the ntc and lower temperature range was not observed under these experimental conditions [50]. Fig. 6. 21.

The numerical model for n-butane oxidation, by Pitz et al. [228], was used also by Carlier et al. [21] to simulate experimental studies of the two-stage combustion of n-butane at 0.18 MPa on a flat-flame burner and, following this validation, to simulate the ignition delays of n-butane in a rapid compression machine. The numerical studies of the burner experiments were extended by Corre et al. [233]. For simulations of the behaviour on a flat-flame burner the chemical model was computed in an isothermal mode, the experimental one-dimensional temperature profile being introduced as an input parameter. Among the important aims of the tests by Corre et al. [233] was the rationalization of the predicted extent of n-butane consumption throughout the development of the first (cool-flame) and second stages of combustion, with that observed experimentally. The experimental study by Minetti et al. [22, 116] included the detection and measurement of RO2 and HO2 radicals by esr, the one-dimensional spatial profiles of which were simulated by Corre et al. [233],... [Pg.635]

A detailed kinetic model for n-butane combustion has also been reported by Kojima [234] comprising 700 reversible reactions. Although this may prove to be a useful development, it has not been the subject of chemical validation, having been used only to simulate ignition delays for n-butane in a shock tube and in a rapid compression machine. In the absence of complementary chemical tests, the prediction of ignition delay really constitutes an application rather than a test of a comprehensive kinetic scheme. [Pg.636]

Comprehensive models aim to employ all the relevant reactions, while reduced and simplified models attempt to select the reactions of critical importance. Almost all modelling is based on, and validated by, experiments in model combustion or chemical kinetic systems. Measurements include product distributions in various types of reactor, ignition delaytimes in static reactors, rapid compression machines and shock tubes, and various types of explosion limits. These are discussed in detail in Chapter 6. [Pg.686]

Griffiths [85] and Schrieber et al. [86] have shown how the Muller scheme can be modified to incorporate these features by slightly expanding the low temperature part of the mechanisms and adding a further intermediate. While mass and energy balances were intrinsic in the formulation, an empirical approach was adopted both for the form of the additional reaction and for all the rate constants. The latter, for instance, included pressure dependent terms. Good fits were obtained to rapid compression machine and shock-tube autoignition delay-times for heptane, iso-octane, and their mixtures. [Pg.694]

When a reaction mixture is under the same conditions of temperature and pressure as in Figure 2, where an autoignition is likely to develop, there is a certain time lapse, called the autoignition delay, before this becomes effective. This delay is important in the Diesel engine but also in the safety of industrial combustion reactions. The measurement of these delays is carried out mainly using batch reactors, rapid compression machines and shock tubes. [Pg.189]
