Hey everyone,
I am working on the simulation of diesel engine with blends of alcohols. Need help finding the mech.dat and therm.dat files for octanol-diesel combination.

Thank you

Hello,

I am not aware of any mechanisms for octanol. You may have to use a surrogate for octanol, for which you can find a mechanism.

Best regards,

Hello Thomas,

Please see the following paper for octanol combustion and references therein,

Kerschgens, Bruno, et al. "Di-n-buthylether, n-octanol, and n-octane as fuel candidates for diesel engine combustion." Combustion and Flame 163 (2016): 66-78.

Thanks,
