摘要：A series of skeletal mechanisms was developed based on a decoupling methodology to describe the oxidation of n-alkanes from n-octane to n-hexadecane. In the decoupling methodology, a fuel oxidation mechanism is divided into two parts: one is an extremely simplified model for species with a carbon atom number larger than two to simulate the ignition characteristics of n-alkane; the other is a detailed mechanism for H-2/CO/C-1 to predict the concentrations of small molecules, laminar flame speed, and extinction strain rate. The new skeletal mechanism includes only 36 species and 128 reactions for each n-alkane from n-octane to n-hexadecane. The mechanism was extensively validated against the experimental data in a shock tube, jet-stirred reactor, flow reactor, counterflow flame, and premixed laminar flame. Good agreements on ignition delay, the concentrations of major species, laminar flame speed, and extinction strain rate between the predictions and measurements were obtained over wide ranges of temperature, pressure, and equivalence ratio, which demonstrates the capability of the decoupling methodology to build skeletal oxidation mechanisms for n-alkanes. Due to the compact size of the new skeletal mechanism, it can be easily integrated into the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation.
