Abstract
3-Carene, the 2D structure of which is shown in Fig. 1 and is a monoterpene with molecular formula C10H16, can be extracted from the plant sources [1–3]. The application of 3-carene as a biofuel was suggested by Kulkarni et al. [4], who found that a combination of 75 % ethylidene norbornene and 25 % 3-carene can act as an effective fuel. Our recent studies also found lower ignition delay times for 3-carene compared to JP-10 [5]. It is known that oxidation mechanism of a fuel is particularly important to understand combustion in high-speed vehicles. Thus, it is important to obtain the oxidation mechanism of fuels that can be used in high-speed vehicles. As far as we know, the oxidation mechanism of 3-carene does not exist in the literature and needs to be derived. The present paper discusses the results obtained from the simulation of preliminary oxidation mechanism of 3-carene.
