Combustion of butanol isomers – A detailed molecular beam mass spectrometry investigation of their flame chemistry

Autoignition of Butanol Isomers at Low to Intermediate Temperature and Elevated Pressure

“…It is also interesting to note that the order of reactivity of the mechanisms differs for some fuels in this temperature and pressure range. For n-and isobutanol, the order from most to least reactive is Van Geem et al 15 , Moss et al 8 , Grana et al 13 . For sec-butanol, the order is Moss et al 8 , Van Geem et al 15 , Grana et al 13 .…”

“…There has been only one study of the ignition delay of the isomers, conducted in a shock tube at high temperature and relatively low pressure 8 . Other workers have reported induction times 9 , laminar flame speeds of the isomers [10][11][12] , species profiles in non-premixed 13,14 and premixed 15 flames, and species profiles from a pyrolysis experiment 16 .…”

Combustion Characteristics of C5 Alcohols and a Skeletal Mechanism for Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition Combustion Simulation

“…Therefore, higher alcohol fuels, such as C 4 and C 5 alcohols, have been studied as next-generation biofuels, and extensive combustion chemistry studies on butanol isomers have been conducted over the last several years. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] The physical and chemical properties 1 of several alcohol fuels are presented in Table 1.…”
