TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed chemical kinetic model consisting of 1328 reactions involving 230 species was validated using the ignition delay data from this study, which quantitatively reproduces the ignition delays from both rapid compression and reflected shock waves, accurately capturing reactivity as a function of the temperature, pressure, equivalence ratio, and fuel composition.

TL;DR: In this paper, high-pressure experiments and chemical kinetics modeling were performed to generate a database and a chemical kinetic model that can characterize the combustion chemistry of methane-based fuel blends containing significant levels of heavy hydrocarbons (up to 37.5% by volume).

TL;DR: In this paper, a shock tube experiment was performed to produce important ignition delay time data for these binary butane isomer mixtures which are not currently well studied, with emphasis on 50-50 blends of the two isomers.

TL;DR: In this article, a chemical kinetics mechanism designed for the oxidation of methane-hydrocarbon blends at elevated pressures was used to study the effect of higher-order hydrocarbons on ignition delay time and flame speed at gas turbine conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the autoignition and oxidation of n-butane and isobutane mixtures in air at conditions where few data exist, namely at temperatures above 1100 K and for undiluted fuel-air mixtures.
