A Reduced Reaction Mechanism for Diesel/2-Methyltetrahydrofuran Dual-Fuel Engine Application

2-methyltetrahydrofuran (MTHF2) has been recently regarded as a promising alternative engine fuel. However, the chemical reaction mechanism for MTHF2 combustion in not reported to date. In this study, reduced diesel/MTHF2 with only 78 species among 233 reactions was constructed dual-fuel simulations. Firstly, diesel surrogate involving sub-mechanisms of n-decane, iso-octane, methylcyclohexane (MCH), toluene, C2-C3 and detailed H2/CO/C1 selected. Secondly, skeletal containing 54 294 formulated under engine-relevant conditions using combined reduction methods. Thirdly, sub-mechanism oxidation 11 13 extracted four-component fuel mechanism. Subsequently, obtained by improving five-component based on sensitivity analysis. Finally, proposed validated selected experimental data ignition delay times, flame concentrations laminar speeds. addition, new measurements from were then utilized further assess developed Overall, can be used simulation.
