The pyrolytic and oxidative behaviour of the biofuel 2, 5-dimethylfuran (25DMF) has been
studied in a range of experimental facilities in order to investigate the relatively unexplored …

A micro-reactor system (approximately 0.5–1 mm inner diameter by 2–3 cm in length)
coupled with photoionization mass spectrometry and matrix isolation/infrared spectroscopy …

In this chapter, we present a review of recent research of interest to biofuel combustion. An
overview of chemical kinetic mechanism development as it pertains to combustion chemistry …

A systematic study of the ignition behavior of furan and the substituted furans 2-methyl furan
(2-MF) and 2, 5-dimethyl furan (DMF) is presented. Ignition delay times are measured over a …

Broadband microwave spectra over the 2–18 GHz range have been recorded for the
resonance-stabilized 2-furanyloxy radical, formed in the first step of pyrolysis of the second …

The standard molar enthalpies of formation in the gas phase at T= 298.15 K for 43 furan
derivatives were calculated using the DLPNO–CCSD (T1)/CBS method in conjunction with …

Reaction pathways are influenced by thermochemical properties, species stability, and
chemical kinetics. Understanding these factors allows for an understanding of the reaction …

The flash pyrolysis of trans 3-pentenenitrile (3-PN, CH3–CHCH–CH2–CN) was studied by
combining the results of VUV photoionization mass spectra with broadband microwave …

The 2-furanyloxy radical is an important chemical reaction intermediate in the combustion of
biofuels and aromatic compounds. We report an investigation of its electronic and vibrational …

Substituted furans, including furanic ethers, derived from nonedible biomass have been
proposed as second-generation biofuels. In order to use these molecules as fuels, it is …
