The effect of Di-tertiary Butyl Peroxide (DTBP) on Primary Reference Fuels (PRFs) in Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engines was investigated numerically and was compared with trends from previous experimental observations. A detailed kinetic mechanism for PRF combustion containing more than a thousand species and four thousand reactions was combined with a twenty one species, sixty-nine reaction mechanism for DTBP decomposition. This mechanism predicted the observed experimental trends reasonably well and was used to examine how DTBP addition acts to advance combustion timing and to induce hot ignition for lean and high octane number mixtures. The study suggests that DTBP's predominant mode of action for low Octane Number (ON) fuels is thermal, while for high ON fuels it is chemical. The extended kinetic model compiled for this study and the results obtained can be used to aid in the understanding and development of tailored additives for HCCI engines.
