| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The rate constants in the low and high-temperature oxidation mechanism of ether compounds were calculated by using quantum chemical and chemical kinetics methods. From the comparisons of rate constants in alkane oxidation, it was found that the rate constants for the reactions with carbon atom next to ether oxygen atom has a large difference from those of alkane. By using these calculated rate constants, we have developed a detailed chemical kinetics model for the oxidation of diethylether. This model well reproduces the measured ignition delay times relevant to the temperature and pressure conditions in internal combustion engines, and also predicts the two distinct peak of heat release from the low-temperature oxidation. It was also shown from reaction path and sensitivity analysis that the beta fission reactions of alkyl-type radical, and beta fission reaction and cyclic-ether formation reaction of hydroxyalkylperoxy type radicals are important for the prediction of ignition.
