A Comprehensive Modeling Study of n-Heptane Oxidation
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed and used to study the oxidation of n-heptane in flow reactors, shock tubes, and rapid compression machines, where the initial pressure ranged from 1-42 atm, the temperature from 550-1700 K, the equivalence ratio from 0.3-1.5, and nitrogen-argon dilution from 70-99%.

Dynamic Parameters of Gaseous Detonations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered homogeneous gaseous fuel-air detonations and showed that the propagation of the combustion wave is governed by the molecular diffusion of heat and mass from the reaction zone to the unburned mixture, and that the very strong exponential temperature dependence of chemical reaction rates makes possible the rapid combustion in the detonation mode.
