Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical and comparative kinetic modeling of laminar flame speeds of hydrocarbon and oxygenated fuels
Eliseo Ranzi,Alessio Frassoldati,Roberto Grana,Alberto Cuoci,Tiziano Faravelli,Andrew P. Kelley,Chung K. Law,Chung K. Law +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed kinetic mechanism for the pyrolysis and combustion of a large variety of fuels at high temperature conditions is presented, and the authors identify aspects of the mechanism that require further revision.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental and kinetic modeling study of combustion of isomers of butanol
Roberto Grana,Alessio Frassoldati,Tiziano Faravelli,Ulrich Niemann,Eliseo Ranzi,Reinhard Seiser,Robert J. Cattolica,Kalyanasundaram Seshadri +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical approach is employed to describe combustion of isomers of butanol, and the complete set of the primary propagation reactions for butanol isomers proceeds from the extension of the kinetic parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comprehensive Kinetic Modeling Study of Bio-oil Formation from Fast Pyrolysis of Biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal operating conditions for fast biomass pyrolysis are investigated and discussed on the basis of a comprehensive mathematical model of wood/biomass devolatilization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detailed kinetic modeling of the combustion of the four butanol isomers in premixed low-pressure flames
Alessio Frassoldati,Roberto Grana,Tiziano Faravelli,Eliseo Ranzi,Patrick Oßwald,Katharina Kohse-Höinghaus +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the major differences in the overall chemical pathways in these flames are discussed, especially with respect to the formation of undesired emissions, and from agreement and differences between experiment and model, suggestions for further work are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
A wide range kinetic modeling study of pyrolysis and oxidation of methyl butanoate and methyl decanoate. Note I: Lumped kinetic model of methyl butanoate and small methyl esters.
TL;DR: In this article, a lumped kinetic model of methyl butanoate pyrolysis and oxidation is presented and discussed, and a detailed analysis of laminar flame speeds complements and extends this kinetic study.
