Rh assisted catalytic oxidation of jet fuel surrogates in a meso-scale combustor
چکیده انگلیسی


• Observed global combustion behavior for dodecane and dodecane/m-xylene mixtures.
• Analyzed fuel/oxygen conversion, product selectivities, and reaction kinetics.
• Stable hybrid flame seen for all fuels over a range of operating conditions.
• Addition of aromatic increased conversion, CO2 selectivity, and activation energy.
• Rh shown to promote total oxidation over partial oxidation for all fuels.

Oxidation behavior of dodecane and two mixtures of dodecane and m-xylene (90/10 wt.% and 80/20 wt.%) over an Rh catalyst in a meso-scale heat recirculating combustor was examined to isolate the effect of aromatic content on performance. The fuel conversion, product selectivities, and reaction kinetics were calculated, and the global combustion behavior observed. The results showed that increasing the amount of m-xylene in the fuel increased the fuel conversion from 85% (pure dodecane) to 92% (90/10) and further to 98% (80/20). The presence of xylene also significantly increased CO2/H2O selectivity and decreased CO/H2 selectivity. Global activation energy increased linearly with increase in xylene content, supporting that addition of aromatic species to fuel lowers the overall reactivity. The non-catalytic reaction was also simulated using Chemkin software to determine the effect of the Rh catalyst on the combustor performance and to analyze the difference in chemical mechanisms. The results revealed that the catalyst promotes total oxidation over partial oxidation, and lowers the global activation energy by up to 70%.
