Kinetic Models of Combustion of Kerosene

Consideration has been given to the current status of research on the development of kinetic models of combustion of kerosene and its components. Surrogate models of kerosene have been analyzed that describe the physical and chemical properties of an actual fuel and are used in developing detailed and reduced kinetic models. Experimental data have been reviewed based on which testing of the kinetic models with a varying degree of complexity is carried out. Examples of the use of kinetic models in modeling numerically processes occurring in actual power-generating units have been given.
