Abstract
Mono-alkylated cyclohexane is one of typical constituents existing in practical fuels, especially in jet fuel. As the first step to study the combustion chemistry of monoalkylated cyclohexanes, the unimolecular reactions of the methylcyclohexane (MCH) were investigated by combined theoretical calculations and experimental measurements for MCH pyrolysis in the present work. The temperature and pressure dependent kinetics of unimolecular reactions of MCH including its dissociation and isomerization channels were computed by high level quantum chemical calculations and RRKM/master equation simulations, which also revealed the competition relationship between the two channels. The theoretical predictions were validated by the experimental observations including species identification measured by photoionization efficiency spectra.
