Abstract
A constant volume reactor model (PSR) was used
to investigate the effect of ethanol addition on the formation of
some pollutants during benzene oxidation in a jet-stirred reactor.
The blended fuels were formed by incrementally adding
4 % wt of oxygen (ethanol) to the neat benzene fuel and by
keeping the inert mole fraction (nitrogen) and the equivalence
ratio constants. The main objective of this work was to obtain
fundamental understanding of the mechanisms through which
the oxygenate compound affects soot precursor amounts. The
modeling results showed that C2H2, C5H5, and C3H3 mole
fractions decreased upon increasing the ethanol percentage in
the fuel mixture.
