Abstract

Poly(oxymethylene) dimethyl ethers (POMDME) with the general chemical formula of CH₃O (CH₂O)_n CH₃ ( n > 1) are promising oxygenated alternative fuels with great soot-reduction potential. Combustion kinetics of the compound with n = 3 POMDME₃[CH₃O(CH₂O)₃CH₃] was examined with combined experimental and modeling approached. Twenty-six species including some radicals and reactive intermediates were distinguished and quantified in a low-pressure laminar premixed POMDME₃ flame with a synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry. A kinetic model to interpret the high-temperature combustion chemistry of POMDME₃ was constructed and tested by all the measurements with uncertainties of both experiments and model predictions. The consumption processes of POMDME₃ and the formation mechanisms of some crucial intermediates are considered.
