Introduction
Alkenes are important intermediates formed by combustion of larger hydrocarbons, e.g., alkanes and alcohols. With 4 carbon atoms, butene is a good candidate for upgrading detailed mechanisms of middle size species in combustion reaction schemes. Butene is the shortest alkene with isomers: a branched isomer, 2- methylpropene (iso-butene), and three linear isomers, i.e., 1-butene and the cis/trans 2-butene. Iso-butene is also an important intermediate species in pyrolysis and oxidation of iso-octane, MTBE and ETBE.
Conclusions
New experimental results were obtained for the oxidation of iso-butene in a JSR and a combustion bomb. Oxidation of iso-butene in these conditions was modeled using an extended detailed chemical kinetic mechanism with 201 species involved in 1788 reactions, derived from previously proposed schemes for the oxidation of large hydrocarbons. The proposed mechanism shows good agreement with the present experimental data obtained in a JSR and a bomb. Moreover, it represents well the structure of a low-pressure flat flame taken from literature. Ignition delays obtained in shock tube are well predicted by our model, as well as the decomposition products concentrations measured behind the reflected shock wave.
