- 요약Decarbonization of energy systems that drive the transportation industry is imperative for effectively mitigating global greenhouse gas emissions. In this pursuit, the transition towards scalable and sustainable fuels will play a key role. Decarbonizing the aviation sector is particularly difficult, because of the challenges of implementing emerging energy technologies on aircraft. Sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), which are hydrocarbon-based fuels derived from non-petroleum feedstocks, are expected to play a key role in combating aviation-related emissions in the coming decades. Since these fuels are intended to be "drop-in" replacement to conventional jet fuels, they are subject to stringent restrictions on their compositions and properties. The present regulatory approval process for SAFs is costly, time-consuming, and requires thousands of gallons of fuel for comprehensive testing. In an effort to lower the cost, time, fuel volumes, and risk associated with SAF certification, this dissertation develops a novel prescreening methodology based on Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy to rapidly assess key fuel properties and combustion behavior.In the initial part of this dissertation, two chemometric strategies were developed based on vapor-phase FTIR spectra of jet fuel-relevant hydrocarbon fuels in the 2--15.38 micron wavelength range for predicting the eight physical and chemical properties of SAFs: molecular weight (MW), hydrogen-to-carbon (H/C) ratio, density, net heat of combustion (NHC), derived cetane number (DCN), threshold sooting index (TSI), flash point, and kinematic viscosity (KV). The physical and chemical properties of the fuels in the training dataset were sourced either from experimental data reported in the literature or calculated using relevant property blending correlations. Elastic-net-regularized linear models were first trained for each property by optimizing model parameters using a cross-validated grid search. The results from these models were compared with the results from previous models (Lasso-regularized linear models developed by Wang et al. at Stanford), which were trained on FTIR absorption spectra across the limited wavelength range of 3.3--3.55~μm. Use of the extended wavelength range and the new model-parameter optimization strategy resulted in significant improvement in predictive performance of the current models compared to the previous models for all eight properties. Subsequently, nonlinear support vector regression (SVR) models were trained to achieve greater prediction accuracy on properties such as DCN and flash point. The performance of the linear and nonlinear models was evaluated on a candidate SAF. Both the models showed high prediction accuracy on this test fuel for all properties, and outperformed standard ASTM test methods in terms of prediction error.In the later part of this dissertation, a series of shock tube experiments were conducted to study the pyrolysis of 15 neat hydrocarbons belonging to different molecular classes. Through these experiments, clear empirical trends were observed in intermediate formation with varying molecular structure, thereby laying a strong foundation for modeling the high-temperature chemistry based on fuel composition. Leveraging the strong sensitivity of combustion behavior to fuel structure, a new concept, called IR-HyChem was introduced. This approach aims to develop compact, fuel-specific Hybrid Chemistry (HyChem) models for real fuels solely on the basis of their FTIR spectra. A detailed methodology was proposed for determining the relevant model parameters. The approach was then applied to a real fuel (Jet-A), and the resulting IR-HyChem model was validated using global shock tube ignition delay time (IDT) measurements. The IR-HyChem model was found to accurately predict IDTs across a wide range of test conditions. A detailed analysis was conducted to identify feasible sets of IR-HyChem parameters. The uncertainty in IDT predictions stemming from the variability in model parameters was observed to be comparable to experimental uncertainty. The IR-HyChem prediction uncertainty for IDTs was similar to, if not lower than, that of the traditional HyChem model.Overall, the work presented in this dissertation demonstrated the utility of predictive models based on extended-wavelength FTIR spectra as an effective low-volume prescreening method for characterizing the properties and combustion behavior of new sustainable aviation fuel candidates.
