Abstract

Within this work the effects of blending oxymethylene ethers (OME n ) to a diesel surrogate (50 mol% n-dodecane, 30 mol% farnesane, and 20 mol% 1-methylnaphthalene) were investigated by performing two different types of experiments: measurements of the sooting propensity and of the laminar burning velocity, each in laminar premixed flames. For the sooting propensity, OME 3 , OME 4 , and OME 5 were considered as blending compounds—each in mass fractions of 10%, 20%, and 30%. The sooting propensity was found to depend strongly on the OME n blending grade but not on its chain length. In addition, the effect on the laminar burning velocity was studied for OME 4 and the admixture of 30% OME 4 with diesel surrogate for the first time. This admixture was found to lead to increased burning velocities; however, much less than might be foreseen when considering the respective values of the neat fuels.
