A Reduced Mechanism for Ethanol Oxidation

, and . 4th European Combustion Meeting: Vienna University of Technology, 14th - 17th April, Vienna, Austria, (2009)

Abstract

To account for the increasing share of alternative fuels, reliable chemical kinetic mechanisms are needed. For ethanol, as one of the most important alternative fuels, Marinov 1 proposed a high-temperature mechanism consisting of 57 chemical species and 383 elementary reactions. In the present work, this mechanism is systematically reduced, nally leading to 38 species and 228 reactions. For validation, numerical results using the reduced mechanism are compared to experimental ignition delay times and laminar burning velocities, as well as results obtained with the original mechanism.
