Dodecane (also known as dihexyl, bihexyl, adakane 12 or duodecane) is a liquid alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH3(CH2)10CH3 (or C12H26), an oily liquid of the paraffin series. It has 355 isomers.
It is used as a solvent, distillation chaser, scintillator component. Moreover it is used as a diluent for tributyl phosphate (TBP) in plants reprocessing.[2]
Combustion reaction
The combustion reaction of dodecane is as follows:
- 2 C12H26(l) + 37 O2(g) → 24 CO2(g) + 26 H2O(g)
One litre of fuel needs about 15 kg of air to burn, and generates 2.3 kg (or 1.2 m3) of CO2 upon complete combustion.
Jet fuel surrogate
In recent years, n-dodecane has garnered attention as a possible surrogate for kerosene-based fuels such as Jet-A, S-8, and other conventional aviation fuels. It is considered a second-generation fuel surrogate designed to emulate the laminar flame speed, largely supplanting n-decane, primarily due to its higher molecular mass and hydrogen to carbon ratio which better reflect the n-alkane content of jet fuels.
