Biodiesels are promising renewable fuels that can aid in the transition to carbon neutrality.
The high molecular weight and complex composition of real biodiesel fuels complicate …

Laminar flame propagation was investigated for pentanone isomers/air mixtures (3-
pentanone, 2-pentanone and 3-methyl-2-butanone) in a high-pressure constant-volume …

Short-carbon-chain ketones are known for their high octane numbers, their knock resistance,
and their low soot emission. However, studies on the combustion behavior of ketones …

Ketones have been considered as potential biofuels and main components of blend stock
for internal engines. To better understand the chemical kinetics of ketones, ignition delay …

The low-temperature oxidation chemistry of 2-and 3-pentanone was investigated over a
wide range of conditions using a jet-stirred reactor (JSR) and a rapid compression machine …

Previous studies on sampling probe effects in the premixed flat flame showed that the
temperature in the preheat zone can be lowered down to low-temperature oxidation regime …

Ignition delay times (IDTs) for di-isopropyl ketone (DIPK) were measured at pressures of 6
and 10 atm, equivalence ratios (ϕ) of 0.5, 1.0, and 2, and over a temperature range of 1100 …

Pentanone has three types of isomers: 3-methyl-2-butanone (methyl isopropyl ketone,
MIPK), 3-pentanone (diethyl ketone, DEK) and 2-pentanone (methyl propyl ketone, MPK) …

2-Pentanone is a significant carbon-neutral fuel. To better understand 2-pentanone
combustion, the CCSD (T)/CBS method was used to calculate the potential energy surfaces …

Elucidating the combustion chemistry of pentanone isomers provides critical insights into the
reaction pathways of complex fuels and ketones with more than five carbon atoms. This …
