“…We have collected together, into a single chemical kinetic reaction mechanism, models for n-alkane fuels from methane to n-octane [9,10], 2-methyl alkanes from iso-butane to 2-methyl heptane [10], other branched chain hydrocarbons including the isomers of pentane and hexane [11,12] and selected isomers of heptane [13,14], and iso-octane [15]. In addition, recent mechanisms are included for alcohol fuels methanol, ethanol, and the isomers of propanol and butanol [16,17], as well as n-pentanol [18] and iso-pentanol [19], and mechanisms for benzene and alkyl benzenes as large as n-butyl benzene [15,[20][21][22][23]. New mechanisms for a wide variety of olefin fuels from propene [24,25] to heptene [26] are also included, as well as cyclic paraffin fuels cyclopentane [27], cyclohexane [28] and methyl cyclohexane [29].…”
