Aromatic hydrocarbons are important components of petroleum-based transportation fuels,
biomass, coal, and solid waste, etc. The reaction kinetics of aromatic hydrocarbons largely …

Abstract Cyclic Ethers (CEs) belong to a class of compounds of importance to understand
the chemistry of both the engine auto-ignition of hydrocarbon fuels and the combustion of …

A detailed insight of key reactive events related to oxidation and pyrolysis of hydrocarbon
fuels further enhances our understanding of combustion chemistry. Though comprehensive …

This paper uses a chemical kinetic modeling approach to study the influences of fuel

This study presents new ignition delay data measured in a rapid compression machine over
a wide range temperature, pressure and fuel/air ratio. This data is an extension of that …

The extinction limits of diffusion flames have been measured experimentally and computed
numerically for fuels of three different molecular structures pertinent to surrogate fuel …

The regenerative cooling technique with endothermic reactions is prospective for scramjet
engines, in which the convective heat transfer characteristics are necessary for the thermal …

Ignition delay times have been measured for mixtures of n-propylbenzene in air (≈ 21%
O2,≈ 79% N2) at equivalence ratios of 0.29, 0.48, 0.96 and 1.92 and at reflected shock …
