Accurate measurement and prediction of laminar burning velocity is important for
characterization of premixed combustion properties of a fuel, development and validation of …

The primary objective of the present endeavor is to collect, consolidate, and review the vast
amount of experimental data on the laminar flame speeds of hydrocarbon and oxygenated …

The state of the art and the further challenges of combustion chemistry research in laminar
flames are reviewed. Laminar flames constitute an essential part of kinetic model …

An updated H2/O2 kinetic model based on that of Li et al.(Int J Chem Kinet 36, 2004, 566–
575) is presented and tested against a wide range of combustion targets. The primary …

The present work investigates the accuracy of laminar flame speeds measured from
outwardly propagating spherical flames. We focus on methane/air mixtures at normal …

Large discrepancies among the laminar flame speeds and Markstein lengths of methane/air
mixtures measured by different researchers using the same constant-pressure spherical …

Methane/coal dust explosions pose a serious threat to the safety of coal mining. Since the
flow field in the tunnel is unsteady, the effect of turbulence on flame propagation is essential …

The present work investigated the uncertainties associated with the extrapolation of
stretched flames to zero stretch in flame speed measurements using expanding spherical …

Ammonia, as a carbon free fuel, is expected to play a key role in carbon neutrality and social
energy shortages. However, the flame propagation speed of ammonia is low. Blending …

The spherically expanding flame method is the only approach for measuring laminar flame
speeds at thermodynamic states that are relevant to engines. In the present study, a …
