Detailed Kinetic Modeling for the Pyrolysis of a Jet A Surrogate

Fuel microchannels for regenerative cooling are receiving increasing attention in advanced aviation technologies. Those allow heat integration between the endothermic cracking of jet fuels and their subsequent combustion. In this work, a detailed elementary-step kinetic model is developed to gain insights into chemistry Jet A surrogate (n-dodecane, isooctane, n-propyl benzene, 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene), which allows further optimization those dedicated procedure described automated generation models multi-component mixtures with open-source Reaction Mechanism Generator (RMG) software. The full validated against experimental measurements multiple reactor geometries, under various conditions, including both mixture commercial A. data include new pyrolysis tubular product analysis using comprehensive 2D GC. good performance from broad range conditions demonstrates advantage empirical that limited applicability range. Further important shows it essential account cross-reactions different components.
