Infrared laser-absorption spectroscopy (IR-LAS) sensors play an important role in
diagnosing and characterizing a wide range of combustion systems. Of all the laser …

The potential of acetylene is extremely high both in chemical industry and synthetic
applications due to unsaturated nature and the smallest active C≡ C unit. The production of …

An all-optical photoacoustic (PA) system for trace gas detection of ethylene (C 2 H 4) in high-
concentration methane (CH 4) background has been developed based on dual light sources …

In the study of chemical reactions, it is desirable to have a diagnostic strategy that can detect
multiple species simultaneously with high sensitivity, selectivity, and fast time response …

Wide distillation fuels (WDF) and gasoline/diesel blends have been proposed as new fuel
formulations for advanced combustion engines. Recent studies have shown that multi …

Real fuels are complex mixtures of hundreds of molecules, which makes it challenging to
unravel their combustion chemistry. Several approaches in the literature have helped to …

The paper describes the first demonstration of the detection of small amounts of methane
using the 8.014 µm absorption line and cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) employing …

The pyrolysis of n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane have been studied behind reflected
shock waves at pressures of 1.0–2.5 atm and at temperatures of 1000–1500 K. A single …

We report the application of a multiwavelength speciation strategy to the study of n-pentane
(n C5H12) pyrolysis behind reflected shock waves in a shock tube. Experiments were …

In part I of this paper, the reaction kinetics and thermochemistry of cyclopentanol have been
studied numerically. In this part, the ignition and combustion behavior of cyclopentanol are …
