Laminar Burning Velocity and Ignition Delay Time of Oxygenated Biofuel

The need for lowering the environmental impacts has incentivized investigation of biomass and biofuels as possible alternative sources energy supply. Among others, oxygenated bio-derived molecules such alcohols, esters, acids, aldehydes, furans are attractive substances chemical feedstock sustainable production. Indeed, presence oxygen atoms limits production aromatic compounds, improves combustion efficiency (thus heat production) alleviates formation carbon soot. On other hand, variability their composition represented one major challenges complete characterization behaviour. This work gives an overview current understanding detailed mechanisms, well experimental investigations characterizing process these species, with emphasis on laminar burning velocity ignition delay time. From review, common intermediates most relevant functional groups were identified. gathered information can be intended sake core mechanism generation.
