Alternative transportation fuels, preferably from renewable sources, include alcohols with up
to five or even more carbon atoms. They are considered promising because they can be …

Ongoing progress in synthetic biology, metabolic engineering, and catalysis continues to
produce a diverse array of advanced biofuels with complex molecular structure and …

The conversion of CO2 with CH4 into liquid fuels and chemicals in a single‐step catalytic
process that bypasses the production of syngas remains a challenge. In this study, liquid …

ABSTRACT A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed to describe the
oxidation of small hydrocarbon and oxygenated hydrocarbon species. The reactivity of these …

The chemical modeling of combustion treats the chemical conversion of hundreds of species
through thousands of reactions. Recent advances in theoretical methodologies and …

Auto-ignition characteristics of ethanol were experimentally investigated using two Shock
Tube (ST) facilities and a Rapid Compression Machine (RCM). Ignition delay times for …

n-Butanol pyrolysis in a flow reactor was investigated at the pressures of 5, 30, 80, 200, and
760 Torr. Synchrotron vacuum ultraviolet photoionization mass spectrometry was used for …

Complex molecules often have many structures (conformations) of the reactants and the
transition states, and these structures may be connected by coupled-mode torsions and …

ABSTRACT A detailed reaction mechanism for ethanol combustion was developed for
describing ignition, flame propagation, and species concentration profiles with high …

Considering the importance of ethanol (EtOH) as an engine fuel and a key component of
surrogate fuels, the further understanding of its auto-ignition and oxidation characteristics at …
