Abstract
Diesel oil is the base fuel for road transport. It can be partially displaced by biodiesel. Computational models reduce experimental costs and allow faster optimization of fuels and motors. Therefore, a detailed comprehension of the combustion process is vital to advance combustion technology. The objective of this paper is to present and compare chemical kinetics models for the oxidation of large methyl-ester molecules, such as methyl butanoate and methyl decanoate, and their use in chemical surrogates for biodiesel. Both measurements and modeling are addressed, including the cost of simulation with detailed mechanisms and the impact of the reduction of the chemical kinetics mechanisms.
