methyl-9-decenoate and n-heptane were selected as a biodiesel substitution of multiple components. The detailed chemical kinetics mechanism of the substitution was established. Based on that
a simplified chemical kinetics mechanism was developed by using three methods: DRGEP
isomer lumping and sensitivity analysis option in DRGEP. The CHEMKIN-PRO software was applied to analog computation of the simplified mechanism. The results show that the simplified mechanism passes its validity test and has a good ability to predicate ignition delay and intermediate products such as CO,CO2,CH4,C2H4,C3H6 during biodiesel combustion process. Meanwhile
it can again appear the negative temperature coefficient and predicate the production of early CO2 in low temperature combustion.
