The cyanonitrene radical, NCN, has been shown in the last two decades to play a crucial
role in the formation of prompt-NO in combustion. This has stimulated a large number of …

We report an experimental and modeling study on prompt-NO formation in low-pressure (5.3
kPa) premixed flames. Special emphasis is given to the quantitative detection (and …

In view of a desired transition from fossil fuels to sustainably produced biofuels that should
contribute to a net reduction of CO 2 emissions, promising fuel candidates have been …

This study provides new quantitative NO concentrations measurements in n-propanol+ air
and i-propanol+ air flames together with a new combustion kinetic model. The heat flux …

Through a large interdisciplinary approach the “Tailor Made Fuels from Biomass”(TMFB)
cluster of excellence has been pursuing the identification of next generation biofuels. By first …

Butanone, a product of pyrolysis of biomass, micro-biological fermentation of agricultural
waste, possesses several advantages as a next generation biofuel for spark ignition …

The first speciation data regarding the oxidation of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) are presented.
Fuel-lean, stoichiometric and fuel-rich mixtures were studied at constant fuel concentration …

An experimental and kinetic study of the influence of additives on the selective noncatalytic
reduction (SNCR) process is presented. Experiments were performed on a lab-scale reactor …

butanone has been exploited as a promising next-generation biofuel candidate for its
impressive knock resistant properties. However, its combustion characteristics and intrinsic …

Flame-sampling experiments allow for describing the species profiles as a function of the
height above the burner. Even with microprobes as those generally used for gas …
