An experimental and detailed kinetic modeling study of the pyrolysis and oxidation of allene and propyne over a wide range of conditions
(Elsevier, 2021-07-27)Allene and propyne are important intermediates in the pyrolysis and oxidation of higher hydrocarbon fuels, and they are also a major source of propargyl radical formation, which can recombine into different C 6 H 6 isomers ... -
Experimental and kinetic modeling study of 2-methyl-2-butene: allylic hydrocarbon kinetics
(American Chemical Society, 2015-03-20)Two experimental studies have been carried out on the oxidation of 2-methyl-2-butene, one measuring ignition delay times behind reflected shock waves in a stainless steel shock tube, and the other measuring fuel, intermediate, ... -
Experimental and kinetic modeling study of 3-Methyl-2-butenol (Prenol) oxidation
(American Chemical Society, 2021-08-19)Longer chain alcohols with 4–5 carbon atoms are attractive alternative fuels as they can be derived from biological sources and since their combustion leads to lower exhaust gas levels of NOx and soot compared to commercial ... -
An experimental and kinetic modeling study of cyclopentane and dimethyl ether blends
(Elsevier, 2020-11-13)Cyclopentane is a suitable naphthene, or cycloalkane, in a palette for multi-component gasoline surro- gate fuels due to its presence in market fuels and its relevance to alkyl substituted cyclopentanes also present. ... -
