Abstract
We report the results on the combustion of single, levitated droplets of exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (JP-10) doped with titanium-aluminum-boron (Ti-Al-B) reactive metal nanopowders (RMNPs) in an oxygen (60%)-argon (40%) atmosphere by exploiting an ultrasonic levitator with droplets ignited by a carbon dioxide laser. Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) emission spectroscopy revealed the presence of gas-phase aluminum (Al) and titanium (Ti) atoms. These atoms can be oxidized in the gas phase by molecular oxygen to form spectroscopically detected aluminum monoxide (AlO) and titanium monoxide (TiO) transients. Analysis of the optical ignition videos supports that the nanoparticles are ignited before JP-10. The detection of boron monoxide (BO) further proposes an active surface chemistry through the oxidation of the RMNPs and the release of at least BO into the gas phase. The oxidation of gas-phase BO by molecular oxygen to boron dioxide (BO2) plus atomic oxygen might operate in the gas phase, although the involvement of surface oxidation processes of RMNPs to BO2 cannot be discounted. The UV-vis emission spectra also revealed the key reactive intermediates (OH, CH, C2, and HCO) of the oxidation of JP-10. Electronic structure calculations reveal that the presence of reactive radicals has a profound impact on the oxidation of JP-10. Although titanium monoxide (TiO) reacts to produce titanium dioxide (TiO2), it does not engage in an active JP-10 chemistry as all abstraction pathways are endoergic by more than 217 kJ mol-1. This is similar for atomic aluminum and titanium, whose hydrogen abstraction reactions from JP-10 were revealed to be endoergic by at least 77 kJ mol-1. Therefore, aluminum and titanium react preferentially with molecular oxygen to produce their monoxides. However, the formation of BO, AlO, and BO2 supplies a pool of highly reactive radicals, which can abstract hydrogen from JP-10 via transition states ranging from only 1 to 5 kJ mol-1 above the separated reactants, forming JP-10 radicals along with the hydrogen abstraction products (boron hydride oxide, aluminum monohydroxide, and metaboric acid) in the overall exoergic reactions. These abstraction barriers are well below the barriers of abstractions for ground-state atomic oxygen and molecular oxygen. In this sense, gas-phase BO, AlO, and BO2 catalyze the oxidation of gas-phase JP-10 via hydrogen abstraction, forming highly reactive JP-10 radicals. Overall, the addition of RMNPs to JP-10 not only provides a higher energy density fuel but is also expected to lead to shorter ignition delays compared to pure JP-10 due to the highly reactive pool of radicals (BO, AlO, and BO2) formed in the initial stage of the oxidation process.

Abstract
Polycyclic saturated hydrocarbons (PSHs) are attractive candidates as hydrocarbon propellants. To assess their potential values, one of the key factors is to determine their energy contents, such as to calculate their heats of formation (HOF). In this work, we have calculated HOFs for a set of 36 PSHs including exo-Tricyclo[5.2.1.0(2,6) ] decane, the principal component of the high-energy density hydrocarbon fuel commonly identified as JP-10. The results from B3LYP, B3LYP-D3BJ, M06-2X, B2PLYP, B2PLYP-D3BJ, and the XYG3 type of doubly hybrid (xDH) functionals are presented. It is demonstrated here that the xDH functionals yield accurate HOFs in good agreement with those from experiments or the G4 theory. In particular, XYGJ-OS, a low scaling xDH functional, is shown to hold the promise for accurate prediction of HOFs for PSHs of larger sizes. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
A practical hyperdynamics method is proposed to accelerate systems with highly endothermic and exothermic reactions such as hydrocarbon pyrolysis and oxidation reactions. In this method, referred to as the "adaptive hyperdynamics (AHD) method," the bias potential parameters are adaptively updated according to the change in potential energy. The approach is intensively examined for JP-10 (exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene) pyrolysis simulations using the ReaxFF reactive force field. Valid boost parameter ranges are clarified as a result. It is shown that AHD can be used to model pyrolysis at temperatures as low as 1000 K while achieving a boost factor of around 10(5).

Abstract
The density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the M06-2X/6-31++G(d,p) level have been performed to explore the molecular structure, electronic structure, C-H bond dissociation enthalpy, and reaction enthalpies for five isodesmic reactions of a high energy-density endothermic hydrocarbon fuel JP-10. On the basis of the calculations, it is found that the carbonium ion C-6 isomer formed from the catalytic cracking at the C₆ site of JP-10 has the lowest energy, and the R-5 radical generated from the thermal cracking at the C₅ site of JP-10 is the most stable isomer. Furthermore, a series of hypothetical and isodesmic work reactions containing similar bond environments are used to calculate the reaction enthalpies for target compounds. For the same isodesmic reaction, the reaction enthalpy of each carbon site radical has also been calculated. The present work is of fundamental significance and strategic importance to provide some valuable insights into the component design and energy utilization of advanced endothermic fuels.
