Petroleum-derived gasoline is currently the most widely used fuel for transportation
propulsion. The design and operation of gasoline fuels is governed by specific physical and …

Ongoing progress in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and catalysis continues to
produce a diverse array of advanced biofuels with complex molecular structure and …

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 …

Butenes are intermediates ubiquitously formed by decomposition and oxidation of larger
hydrocarbons (eg alkanes) or alcohols present in conventional or reformulated fuels. In this …

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 …

There is an increasing demand for kinetic models of surrogate components to predict the
combustion and emissions of real fuels. In this paper, a new surrogate fuel mechanism …

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 …

A shock tube (ST) and a rapid compression machine (RCM) have been used to measure
new ignition delay times for methanol oxidation over a wide range of pressures (2–50 atm) …
