Two critical steps towards soot production in combustors are the decomposition of the fuel
and the subsequent formation of aromatic hydrocarbons with one to three benzenoid rings …

Piston engines are typically considered devices converting chemical energy into mechanical
power via internal combustion. But more generally, their ability to provide high-pressure and …

This work introduces a newly developed reaction mechanism for the oxidation of ammonia
in freely propagating and burner-stabilized premixed flames as well as shock-tube, jet …

An existing comprehensive kinetic hydrocarbon oxidation model has been augmented and
revised for a detailed analysis of n-heptane flame chemistry. The analysis was enabled by …

Understanding the combustion chemistry of the butene isomers is a prerequisite for a
comprehensive description of the chemistry of C1 to C4 hydrocarbon and oxygenated fuels …

A detailed reaction mechanism for n-heptane oxidation has been compiled and
subsequently simplified. The model is based on a kinetic model for C1–C4 fuel oxidation of …

It is well recognized at present that the unique, high energy density plasma environment
provides suitable conditions to dissociate/atomize molecules in remediation systems, to …

Applied to the primary reference fuel n-heptane, we present the chemistry-guided reduction
(CGR) formalism for generating kinetic hydrocarbon oxidation models. The approach is …

In this study, a series of ignition delay time (IDT) experiments of 1-butene were performed in
a high-pressure shock tube (HPST) and in a rapid compression machine (RCM) under …

In the context of limiting the environmental impact of transportation, this critical review
discusses new directions which are being followed in the development of more predictive …
