Fuel correlations for combustion purposes: a summary of progress within the past fifteen years. II

For pt.I see ibid., p.1968-74 (1996). Over the years, many correlations for fuel properties have been developed at Laval University. The main goal in this was to provide tools to estimate unknown fuel properties from the known values of the density and the viscosity at one temperature and the ASTM D-86 distillation, since these data are easily determined. The first part of the this paper dealt with properties of liquid fuels. Most of the correlations in this second part are not so much pertinent to fuel properties per se, but rather to lean premixed flame behavior. Much of the behavior is related to two postulated temperatures, T_auig and T_i. The first (the auto ignition temperature) may be regarded as the `start´ of a reaction and the second (the instantaneous, spontaneous ignition temperature) may be regarded as that temperature at which the reaction first becomes self-sustaining. Between them they account for a good deal of premixed combustion behavior
