A set of combustion relcvant rate coefficients recommended by a group of European kincticists has been tested by calculating laminar burning velocities. Virtually without any adjustments, a good match with cxperirnental data has been achieved for H2/air flames, H2/CO/air flames, and CHJair flamcs. In ordcr to extend this set by inclusion of the reactions forming the CH,OH oxidation subsystem, the current knowledge of these reactions if first reviewed. The extended set yields calculated burning velocities for CH?OH/air flames in good agreement with measurements recently obtained under stretch free conditions. By using a sensitivity analysis, the remaining deficiencies of the model are highlighted and it is made clear where further experimental work is particularly needed.

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. The commercial diesel samples subjected to high pressure cavitation flow and water bath heating revealed a response to the flow and temperature history that was identified by an increase in the optical extinction coefficients of the cavitated and heated samples. The contribution of cavitation flow and temperature to the variation in spectral extinction coefficient was identified. It was concluded that the increases observed in the spectral extinction coefficients of the cavitated commercial diesels were caused by the cavitation affecting the aromatics in the commercial diesel samples.
