The formation and destruction pathways of the formyl radical (HCO) occupy a pivotal role in
the conversion of fuel molecules (and their intermediates) to eventual products CO and CO …

Weakly bound free radicals have low-dissociation thresholds such that at high temperatures,
time scales for dissociation and collisional relaxation become comparable, leading to …

Many studies of the flame speed of hydrocarbon and oxygenated fuels show that flame
speed is very sensitive to formyl radical (HCO) reactions with small species, such as HCO+ …

Although the reactions of fuel-radicals with other dominant flame radicals such as H and CH
3 are important reactions in low-pressure flames, they have not been well studied. These …

Few studies of formaldehyde flames are available, especially at pressures greater than 55
torr, due to the difficulties and hazards associated with producing formaldehyde vapor. This …

The low-temperature auto-ignition of fuels is a complex process, occurring in multiple stages
with distinct chemical processes governing each stage. The conversion from alkyl radical to …

α-Hydroxyalkyl radical intermediates (RCHOH, R= H, CH3, etc.) are common to the
combustion of nearly all oxygenated fuels. Despite their importance in modeling the …

For hydrogen–oxygen–inert systems, just as for other fuel–oxidizer mixtures, systematically
reduced chemistry has in the past been developed separately for premixed and diffusion …

Recent theoretical studies have shown that termolecular chemistry can be facilitated through
reactions of flame radicals (H, O, and OH) or O 2 with highly-energized collision complexes …

Implicit solutions of the time-dependent flame equations have been used to calculate, for
assumed reaction mechanisms, the properties of a series of hydrogen/carbon …
