Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

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

The effect of nonspherical (ie cylindrical) bomb geometry on the evolution of outwardly
propagating flames and the determination of laminar flame speeds using the conventional …

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

Premixed flames have wide-ranging intrinsic instabilities which have been considerably
investigated recently. Intrinsic instability is a classical area in combustion science, it is of …

To improve our understanding of the combustion characteristics of propyne, new
experimental data for ignition delay times (IDTs), pyrolysis speciation profiles and flame …

As promising alternatives to fossil fuels, hydrogen (H 2) and syngas are playing important
roles in the development and control of high-efficiency, low-emission engines. Achieving …

The determination of burning velocity is very important for the calculations used in
hazardous waste explosion protection and fuel tank venting, which has a direct impact on …

Laminar burning velocities for methanol, ethanol, and binary and quaternary mixtures of
these with iso-octane and n-heptane, have been determined using the heat flux method on a …
