The effect of H2O injection on the combustion process ofiso-octane was investigated with the aim to better understand the suitability of water addition as a potential engine control parameter for homogeneous-charge compression ignition (HCCI) combustion. Several experiments were combined including premixed low-pressure flames, a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) and a plug-flow reactor (PFR), both at atmospheric pressure, and a single-cylinder research engine (SCRE) operated with eitheriso-octane or RON 98 gasoline. The thermal effect of H2O addition was determined in laminar premixediso-octane/O2/Ar flames (equivalence ratio Φ=1.4, 40 mbar) with H2O mole fractions of 0 to 0.22, where water addition reduced the temperature measured by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) by up to 110 K. Speciation data were obtained from these flames as well as in the JSR (Φ=0.65, 933 mbar) and PFR experiments (Φ=0.65, 970 mbar) with and without H2O addition in the low- to intermediate temperature regime from 700–1100 K. The chemical analysis in these flame and reactor experiments was performed using molecular-beam mass spectrometry (MBMS) employing either electron ionization (EI) in the PFR and premixed flame or single-photon ionization (PI) by tunable vacuum-ultraviolet radiation in the JSR. The effects on species mole fractions were small which is supported by predictions from chemical-kinetic simulations. Quantitative speciation data of the exhaust gas of the SCRE were obtained by using Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. A very similar species pool was detected in the laboratory-scale experiments and for the engine operation. It is thus assumed that these results could assist in guiding both the improvement of fundamental chemical-kinetic as well as HCCI engine control models.
