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 …

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 most commonly used theoretical models for describing chemical kinetics are accurate in
two limits. When relaxation is fast with respect to reaction time scales, thermal transition state …

Propene is a significant component of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and an intermediate
in the combustion of higher order hydrocarbons. To better understand the combustion …

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 …

The unimolecular reactions of hydroperoxy alkyl radicals (QOOH) play a central role in the
low-temperature oxidation of hydrocarbons as they compete with the addition of a second …

Alkylated aromatics constitute a significant fraction of the components commonly found in
commercial fuels. Toluene is typically considered as a reference fuel. Together with n …

and 2-pentene are components in gasoline and are also used as representative alkene
components in gasoline surrogate fuels. Most of the available ignition delay time data in the …

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 …
