An experimental and modeling study on polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether 3 (PODE₃) oxidation in a jet stirred reactor.

ABSTRACT: Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ether (PODE_n, n ≥ 1) is a class of oxygenated fuels containing unique carbon-oxygen chain structure and a promising alternative fuel for diesel engines. In this study, low-temperature oxidation characteristics of PODE₃ were studied experimentally and numerically. Experiments were performed in a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0, in the temperature range of 500 to 950 K, and at atmospheric pressure. Mole fractions of PODE₃, O₂, H₂, CO, CO₂, CH₃OH and C₁-C₂ hydrocarbons were measured by gas chromatograph (GC). Experimental measurements were compared with the simulation results based on two literature low-temperature oxidation models, d
