The need and prospect of incorporating realistic fuel chemistry in large-scale simulations of
combustion phenomena and combustor performance are reviewed. The review first …

Alkenes formed, during the refining of crude oil, by cracking the heavier fractions are present
in transportation fuels in significant amounts, up to as much as 15–20% in gasoline …

We propose and test an alternative approach to modeling high-temperature combustion
chemistry of multicomponent real fuels. The hybrid chem istry (HyChem) approach …

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 …

A skeletal mechanism with 54 species and 269 reactions was developed to predict pyrolysis
and oxidation of n-dodecane as a diesel fuel surrogate involving both high-temperature …

Conventional petroleum jet and diesel fuels, as well as alternative Fischer–Tropsch (FT)
fuels and hydrotreated renewable jet (HRJ) fuels, contain high molecular weight lightly …

The use of simplifying techniques to obtain skeletal kinetic mechanisms with the required
accuracy is often a necessary step when computationally demanding simulations are …

A reduced, 12-species reaction model (FFCMy-12) is proposed for modeling high-speed
turbulent methane flames at high Karlovitz numbers. The model was derived from an early …

A novel implementation for the skeletal reduction of large detailed reaction mechanisms
using the directed relation graph with error propagation and sensitivity analysis (DRGEPSA) …

A criterion based on computational singular perturbation (CSP) is proposed to effectively
distinguish the quasi steady state (QSS) species from the fast species induced by reactions …
