Abstract Ignition delay times for 1, 3-butadiene oxidation were measured in five different
shock tubes and in a rapid compression machine (RCM) at thermodynamic conditions …

This paper discusses a brief history of chemical kinetic modeling, with some emphasis on
the development of chemical kinetic mechanisms describing fuel oxidation. At high …

This work presents an updated experimental and kinetic modeling study of n-heptane
oxidation. In the experiments, ignition delay times of stoichiometric n-heptane/air mixtures …

Isobutene is an important intermediate in the pyrolysis and oxidation of higher-order
branched alkanes, and it is also a component of commercial gasolines. To better understand …

The development of accurate chemical kinetic models capable of predicting the combustion
of methane and dimethyl ether in common combustion environments such as compression …

We consider an alternative formulation of the master equation for complex-forming chemical
reactions with multiple wells and bimolecular products. Within this formulation the dynamical …

The chemical modeling of combustion treats the chemical conversion of hundreds of species
through thousands of reactions. Recent advances in theoretical methodologies and …

The most commonly used theoretical models for describing chemical kinetics are accurate in
two limits. When relaxation is fast with respect to reaction time scales, thermal transition state …
