Development of a Detailed Chemical Kinetic Reaction Mechanism of Surrogate Mixtures for Gasoline Fuel

The oxidation of surrogate mixtures for gasoline fuel was studied numerically in perfectly stirred reactor(PSR) to develope the needed detailed reaction mechanism. The reaction mechanism was assembled with the mechanisms for the oxidation of iso-octane or kerosene. It was shown that the reaction model predicted reasonably well the concentration profiles of fuel and major species reported in the literature. As the addition of kerosene into iso-octane as fuel was increased, the concentrations of C2H2 and benzene became high. Especially benzene known as a carcinogen appeared at a very high concentration in the flue gases.
