Abstract
Isomers of alkanes have a significant effect on their combustion performance. In order to better understand the effect of the number of methyl side chains on fuel performance, the pyrolysis experiments of 2,3-dimethylhexane (C8H18–23) were carried out by using a jet-stirred reactor and the synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry at 770 - 1130 K and at atmospheric pressure. Key pyrolysis products, such as acetylene, ethylene, propene, 1,3-butadiene, 2-butene, 1-pentene, 2-methyl-2-butene, 2-methyl-2-hexene, 3-methyl-2-hexene, as well as benzene, styrene and naphthalene, etc., were identified and measured. A detailed kinetic model of C8H18–23 pyrolysis, including 1756 species and 6023 reactions, was constructed and validated against the experimental results in the present work. Rate of production and sensitivity analysis of C8H18–23 showed that the major consumption pathways are H-abstractions and unimolecular dissociation reactions, with the highest contributions from those at/between C(2) and C(3) atoms. Theoretical comparison of the pyrolysis of the three isomers of C8H18 hydrocarbon, i.e., C8H18–23, 2-methylheptane and n-octane, shows that with increasing of the number of methyl side chains, C8H18 will be more reactive in pyrolysis and be more effective in producing soot precursors.
