STOAbstractExternal:
A research program to study the oxidation chemistry of xylenes at high pressures has been conducted at Drexel University. The current program was initiated in August 2007 through an STIR grant from the Army Research Office (Grant No. W9111NF-07-1-0522, Proposal No. 53267-EG-II) and was completed in May 2008. The objectives of this project were to determine the relative reactivity of the xylene isomers at preignition and autoignition conditions, to study the difference in the isomers in JP-8 surrogates, and to isolate the key xylene oxidation reaction pathways for kinetic model development. The xylenes were oxidized neat, in blends with paraffins, and in JP-8 surrogates in a pressurized flow reactor, with complimentary experiments conducted in a single cylinder research engine. Detailed kinetic information was obtained utilizing gas chromatography with flame ionization detection and coupling to a mass spectrometer. Several xylene chemical kinetic models were evaluated under the experimental conditions and sensitivity analysis was conducted to compare the modeling predictions' pathways to the experimental results.
