Abstract
In this study, oxidation experiments of n-propylbenzene (NPB) were conducted at 24 atm, with equivalence ratios (Φ = 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0), and temperatures ranging from 640-820 K. A total of 17 products and intermediates were qualitatively and quantitatively detected using gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The most important rate coefficients, H-abstraction reactions by OH at the α, β, and γ carbon sites of the side chain, were theoretically calculated at G4//wb97xd/6-311 + g(d,p) level. A comprehensive oxidation model of NPB, comprising 285 species and 1953 elementary reactions was constructed to understand the high-pressure oxidation. The model was extensively validated across a pressure range of 1–50 atm using oxidation data from JSR reactor, mole fraction data from shock tube, ignition delay time, and laminar flame speed. According to the selectivity of products analysis, high pressure promotes the complete progression of the reaction and reduces the formation of PAHs.
期刊介绍:
Chemical engineering enables the transformation of natural resources and energy into useful products for society. It draws on and applies natural sciences, mathematics and economics, and has developed fundamental engineering science that underpins the discipline.
Chemical Engineering Science (CES) has been publishing papers on the fundamentals of chemical engineering since 1951. CES is the platform where the most significant advances in the discipline have ever since been published. Chemical Engineering Science has accompanied and sustained chemical engineering through its development into the vibrant and broad scientific discipline it is today.
