Biofuels, such as bio‐ethanol, bio‐butanol, and biodiesel, are of increasing interest as
alternatives to petroleum‐based transportation fuels because they offer the long‐term …

OpenSMOKE++ is a general framework for numerical simulations of reacting systems with
detailed kinetic mechanisms, including thousands of chemical species and reactions. The …

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 …

Laminar flame speeds and extinction strain rates of premixed methanol, ethanol, and n-
butanol flames were determined experimentally in the counterflow configuration at …

Detailed chemical kinetic mechanisms were developed and used to study the oxidation of
two large unsaturated esters: methyl-5-decenoate and methyl-9-decenoate. These models …

A detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism is developed for the five major components
of soy biodiesel and rapeseed biodiesel fuels. These components, methyl stearate, methyl …
