“…The model by Somers et al [9] was observed to have better quantitative agreement with experimental data, while the other model [10] over-predicted ignition delay times under most conditions. Sirignano et al [227] added a detailed kinetic mechanism for particulate formation, developed earlier by the same group [231][232][233], to the model by Somers et al [11] to produce a new kinetic mechanism for particulate formation during the decomposition of furan, 2-MF and 2,5-DMF. The new model captured the experimentally obtained trend under the experimental conditions of the study, showing that furan has the lowest particle formation propensity, then 2,5-DMF and, finally, 2-MF.…”
