This review summarizes the chemical impact of oxygenated additives on the combustion
chemistry of hydrocarbons. Experimental studies in shock tubes, rapid compression …

The response, following rapid compression, of the spontaneous ignition of normal butane to
the effect of small additions of isopropyl nitrate and di-t-butyl peroxide was studied …

This work aims at comparing and highlighting the main reaction pathways characterizing the
combustion behavior of oxygenated fuels. Ethanol and heavier alcohols are already viable …

The present work investigates reburning reduction of nitrogen oxides in oxy-fuel combustion
by means of a detailed reaction mechanism applied to a plug-flow reactor. Reburning …

This study relates to the development of future biofuels and it reports the effects of fuel
molecular structure of various oxygenated compounds on compression auto ignition and …

The autoignition tendencies of several neat hydrocarbon fuels and binary fuel blends were
investigated. An atmospheric pressure flow reactor was used to oxidizethe fuels at …

Ignition delay times in air for hydrocarbon mixtures that simulate natural gas were measured
following the shock heating of such mixtures in reflected shock waves. The onset of ignition …

Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) and ethanol as gasoline fuel additives can enhance gasoline
fuel octane value. This study evaluates the effects of these oxygenated additives (MTBE and …

Fundamental flame properties of mixtures of air with hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and C1–
C4 saturated hydrocarbons were studied both experimentally and numerically. The fuel …

A detailed chemical kinetic reaction mechanism has been developed for a group of four
small alkyl ester fuels, consisting of methyl formate, methyl acetate, ethyl formate, and ethyl …
