Recent contributions of flame-sampling molecular-beam mass spectrometry to a fundamental understanding of combustion chemistry
TL;DR: A review of molecular-beam mass spectrometry of premixed, laminar, low-pressure flat flames has been provided in this paper, focusing on critical aspects of the experimental approach including probe sampling effects, different ionization processes, and mass separation procedures.

Comprehensive Mechanism for Methanol Oxidation
TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism involving 26 chemical species and 84 elementary reactions was proposed for the oxidation of methanol within the scope of this mechanism, turbulent flow reactor and shock tube experimental data were used to determine rate expressions for several of the important reactions involving CH3OH and its intermediate product species, CH2OH Calculations using the proposed mechanism and elementary reaction rates accurately reproduce experimental results over a combined temperature range of 1000-2180K, for fuel-air equivalence ratios between 005 and 30 and for pressures between 1 and 5 atmospheres.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a shock tube and a rapid compression machine (RCM) to measure new ignition delay times for methanol oxidation over a wide range of pressures and equivalence ratios (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0).

A comprehensive mechanism for methanol oxidation
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism for methanol oxidation has been developed and validated against multiple experimental data sets, and the data are from static-reactor, flow-reactor, shock-tube, and laminar-flame experiments, and cover conditions of temperature from 633-2050 K, pressure from 0.26-20 atm, and equivalence ratio from 1.05-2.6.

The kinetics of the reactions of O(3P) atoms with dimethyl ether and methanol
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the kinetics of the reaction of O + CH3OCH3 using fast-flow apparatus equipped with ESR and mass-spectrometric detection and obtained a value of k = (1.70 ± 0.66) × 1012 exp [(−2,280 ± 200/RT)] cm3 mole−1 sec−1 for the reaction.

Burning velocities in mixtures of methyl alcohol, formaldehyde or formic acid with oxygen
E. de Wilde,A. van Tiggelen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative experimental study of flames propagating in mixtures of oxygen with methyl alcohol, formaldehyde or formic acid has been made and the results have been compared with those obtained in a previous work on methane-oxygen flames and show a remarkable similarity.
