Abstract
Commercial liquid petroleum fuels are complex mixtures of various hydrocarbons. In
multicomponent fuel modelling, these liquid fuels are represented typically with two
components or up to ten discrete components. Even with ten components, there are
limitations on the representation of real commercial fuels such as heavy fuel oil (HFO),
which contains large numbers of hydrocarbons with a wide range of molecular weights
and dissimilar structures. Continuous thermodynamics and pyrolysis chemical kinetics are
used to model the behaviour of HFO in diesel spray combustion.
