State of the Art in Liquid Fuel Kinetic Model

• Experiment proves the surrogate concept to be of high fidelity.• Fidelity of current modeling approaches has NOT been fully evaluated.

2

Challenges: None of the categories are perfect yet!

How fundamentally has the model been constructed?

How many initial fuel components are necessary?

How comprehensively has the model been validated?

How robust are the small fragment chemistries and the initial fuel component chemistries?

How small does the model need to be?

How can even smaller reduced models be derived?

What are the eventual limitations, accuracy vs. cost?

• NMR is already used to provide information that constrains industry fuel properties.

• 1) Test the applicability of assembling simple functional group compositions of real fuels from the atom types identified by NMR.

• 2) Analyze this information as constraining toward the accurate prediction of complex combustion properties, can this approach be competitive with “fundamental” chemical kinetic models?

• 3) Analyze this information for utility toward identifying the important functional groups dictating different combustion properties

=> inform toward fuel design.

• Select homogenous gas phase ignition delay as candidate test data set.

=> large body of data exists across fuels, temperature, pressure.

=> ignition delay is richly responsive to chemical structure

=> homogenous ignition delay is phenomenalogically related to legal quantities of cetane and octane numbers.

• Minimize potential imprecisions in facility-to-facility data sets by selecting data from only one laboratory - M. A. Oehlschlaeger at RPI.

• Reference condition is 20 atm, phi 1.0 in air.

Methodology – High Temperatures

15

• To simplify mathematical model, ignition delay is divided into regions of Arrhenius and non Arrhenius behaviors, ~ 1000 K.

Model 1 – “High” Temperatures

f1(T) ≡ Ln(τ) ≡ a0 + a1/T

+ a2 xCH2 + a3 xCH3 + a4 xBZY

+ a5 xCH2/T + a6 xCH3/T + a7 xBZY/T

+ a8 xCH2 xCH3

• Trained to pure components (x7) and mixtures of pure components (x4).

Methodology - NMR

16

• From NMR functional groups assignments are made for 4 real aviation fuels,

• Jet-A, IPK, S-8 and SPK.

• 1H and 13C spectra of each fuel were obtained with a JEOL 400 MHz NMR ECX-400.

• Carbon atom types are quantified by relating quantitative hydrogen atom signal tocarbon atom signal. i.e. (the 1H (13C) approach).

Importance of Functional Groups?

• Local sensitivity analysis conducted on each model definition.

• The model can differentiate as to which functional group definition is moredictating to a particular combustion behaviour.

• Example case study: -CH2- verses -CH2- CH2--CH2-

Summary

• Surrogate fuel – detailed chemical kinetic models show high fidelity in prediction of complex liquid fuel combustion properties, but are quantitatively inaccurate.

• Functional group representations of complex liquid fuels can make combustion property predictions of high fidelity and high accuracy (but at limited range of conditions).

• Data Needs:

– 1) Ranking of most constraining functionalities for the oxidation of a liquid hydrocarbon mixture.

– 2) Compositional data of real liquid hydrocarbon fuels.
