Abstract
A comparison is made between measured species concentrations in a spark ignition engine and predictions from a numerical model using detailed chemical kinetics. Gas samples are extracted from the end gas at times just prior to autoignition of n-butane/air oriso-butane/air mixtures. Concentration histories of stable species are ohtained through gas chromatographic analysis. A detailed chemical kinetics model is used to predict species concentrations in an idealized end gas. The chemical reactions leading to formation of the relevant species are identified. The relative distribution of intermediate products predicted by the model is in good agrrement with the experimental measurements. Chemical kinetic differences between autoignition of n-butane, a straight chain hydrocarbon, and iso-butane. a branched chain hydrocarhon. are discussed.
