Abstract

A novel methodology for studying autoignition of pre-vaporized hydrocarbons at non-dilute conditions in a high-pressure flow reactor has been developed. In this methodology, the minimum equivalence ratio required for ignition at specific conditions of pressure, temperature and residence time was found. Iso-octane was vaporized with a hydrogen/oxygen/argon preburner and rapidly mixed in a high pressure flow reactor. Ignition was studied at pressures of 15, 17.5, 20, and 22.5 atm, for a temperature range of 650-850K. Residence times of approximately 70, 100, 125, 155, and 175 ms were investigated over equivalence ratios ranging from 0.25 to 0.8. The negative temperature coefficient (NTC) region for autoignition was observed over these conditions, where an inverse equivalence ratio dependence at varying pressures and residence times was shown. Results show qualitative agreement with a recent chemical kinetics model from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, for the conditions studied in this work.
