Experimental Study and Kinetic Modeling of Propene Oxidation in a Jet Stirred Flow Reactor

Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/j100314a019

The oxidation of propene was studied in a jet stirred flow reactor in the temperature range 900-1200 K at pressures extending from 1 to 8 atm for a wide range of fuel-oxygen equivalence ratios (0.15-4.0).A computer program has been developed to model the experimental data by using a chemical kinetic reaction mechanism.A direct method to determine the first-order sensitivities of the mole fraction of each species with respect to the rate constants was used to develop the kinetic scheme.The present chemical kinetic reaction mechanism is able to reproduce the experimental results, although some discrepancies are observed for the minor products.
