Abstract

Polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (abbreviated as PODEn or OMEn) is a type of e-fuel with the structure CH3O(CH2O)nCH3. The carbon neutrality throughout its life cycle makes PODEn an attractive alternative to fossil fuels. Burning PODEn instead of fossil fuel can significantly reduce carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbon, and especially particulate matter emissions. The heat capacity, surface tension, thermal conductivity, latent heat of vaporization, density, viscosity, and vapor pressure from room temperature to the critical point of a fuel are required for its spray simulations. In this study, for PODEn with 1 ≤ n ≤ 6, the isobaric heat capacity, surface tension, and thermal conductivity were measured with the sapphire method, pendant drop method, and transient plane source method, respectively, around room temperature and at atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, relevant calculation methods extended all the physical properties mentioned above from 298.15 K to the critical points. The calculation results were verified against and regressed with the experimental data obtained from previous literature or the experiments conducted in this study. The results of this study can greatly reduce the uncertainty in the PODEn spray simulations due to the absence of physical property data.
