Default Diesel properties

Hi there! I try to simulate the combustion of diesel in a burner. I am struggling to get the right properties like density, conductivity, heat capacity, saturation pressure, etc. In most cases the commercial software packages offer n-dodecane (C12H26) in their databases. But this is only one component of diesel. I would like to know what people out there in the cfd-community use and where to get appropriate data. I found, that some people use C12H23 (What is that?). Searching the web gave only poor results.

Any comments or hints are appreciated.

Thanks, Thomas

Thomas The Alternative Fuels Data Center (US Department of Energy) has a good deal of fuel data. I found this in a quick search (imperial - sorry!)

Alternatively you'll have to buy an ISO (I hate that).

I'd check what is meant by diesel on your project - it's not all the same stuff you know. Hope this is of some help Chris
