Abstract: In Dimethyl Ether (DME) indirect production processes, DME have a reforming process to separate Methanol. DME has a high cetane number and Methanol has a high octane number. Each fuel has a different combustion characteristics and reactivity. So, this paper was investigated on the combustion characterisitics of DME and Methanol. Basically, Methanol has a effect of retarding ignition. However, Within 10% of total carbon mole number in DME, Methanol slightly changed the onset timing of Low Temperature Reaction (LTR) with increasing thermal-ignition preparation range. It means that controlling combustion phasing of DME can be possible without eliminated LTR. In case of IMEP, the ranges.
