Alkenes formed, during the refining of crude oil, by cracking the heavier fractions are present
in transportation fuels in significant amounts, up to as much as 15–20% in gasoline …

Future fuels for compression ignition engines will be required both to reduce the
anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions from fossil sources and to contribute to the …

As a main component of alkenes, 1-octene is the key important intermediate in the process
of oxidation or pyrolysis of n-decane or higher alkanes. In this work, quantum chemistry …

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 …

Structural effects of biodiesel in terms of unsaturation, ie C= C double bonds, its position and
the presence of the ester moiety on soot formation are studied in this paper. Laminar coflow …

Thermal decomposition of alkenes is critical in many chemical processes. In the alkene
moiety, allylic Csingle bondC bonds are significantly weaker than alkylic and vinylic Csingle …

In this work, we have firstly investigated the auto-ignition behaviors of 1-heptene, 2-heptene
and n-heptane in the low to intermediate temperature range (650–950 K) over various …

The pyrolysis of 1-hexene was studied in a flow reactor by synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet
photoionization mass spectrometry and gas chromatography combined with mass …

The reactivity of unsaturated alcohols with a C= C double bond in the β-and γ-positions to
the hydroxyl group is not well established. The pyrolysis and oxidation of two such …

Chemical kinetic reaction mechanisms for modern combustion systems are described,
including historical highlights and key developments from the past 50 years and evolution of …
