TL;DR: In this paper, a H2-CO kinetic model was proposed to predict a wide variety of H2 and CO combustion data, from global combustion properties (shock-tube ignition delays, laminar flame speeds, and extinction strain rates) to detailed species profiles during H 2 and CO oxidation.

TL;DR: The state of the art and further challenges of combustion chemistry research in laminar flames are reviewed in this paper, where various methods considered in this review are the flat, low-pressure, burner-stabilized premixed flame for chemical speciation studies, and the stagnation, spherically expanding, and burner stabilised flames for determining the global flame properties.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed and reduced chemical kinetic mechanism for singly methylated iso-alkanes (i.e., 2-methylalkanes) ranging from C7 to C20 was presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new methodology is proposed for direct experimental determination of laminar flame speeds, which includes the use of the stagnation flow configuration and large separation distances betwenn the nozzle and the stagnation plane, which allow for the establishment of Bunsen-type flames as the flow rate is reduced.

TL;DR: In this paper, the accuracy of the laminar flame speed determination by using the counterflow twin-flame technique has been computationally and experimentally examined in light of the recent understanding that linear extrapolation of the reference upstream velocity to zero strain rate would yield a value higher than that of the LFL speed, and such an overestimate can be reduced by using either lower strain rates and/or larger nozzle separation distances.
