Oxidation Kinetics of Pure and Blended Methyl Octanoate/n-Nonane/Methylcyclohexane: Measurements and Modeling of OH*/CH* Chemiluminescence, Ignition Delay Times and Laminar Flame Speeds

The focus of the present work is on the empirical characterization and modeling of ignition trends of ternary blends of three distinct hydrocarbon classes, namely a methyl ester (C9H18O2), a linear alkane (n-C9H20), and a cycloalkane (MCH). Numerous surrogate biofuel formulations have been proposed...
