Bio-butantol is being studied extensively as alternative to conventional fuels due to its propensity of decreasing soot formation and improving the octane number of gasoline, resulting in renewed interest in the the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation process and combustion of mixtures of acetone, butanol and ethanol. Therefore in this work a detailed mechanism for the pyrolysis and oxidation of ABE is presented containing ∼200 species and ∼6000 reactions. The mechanism is validated against newly acquired pyrolysis data. Laminar flame speeds computations of alcohols and ABE complement the detailed comparisons of the pyrolysis data and allow to further validate the combustion behaviour of bio-butanol.

Abstract
Bio-butantol is being studied extensively as alternative to conventional fuels due to its propensity of decreasing soot formation and improving the octane number of gasoline, resulting in renewed interest in the the acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation process and combustion of mixtures of acetone, butanol and ethanol. Therefore in this work a detailed mechanism for the pyrolysis and oxidation of ABE is presented containing ∼200 species and ∼6000 reactions. The mechanism is validated against newly acquired pyrolysis data. Laminar flame speeds computations of alcohols and ABE complement the detailed comparisons of the pyrolysis data and allow to further validate the combustion behaviour of bio-butanol.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
