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 combus...

Large amount of experimental data for laminar burning velocity (LBV) measurements methane (+ H2/CO) ? oxygen diluent mixtures (5500 points in 646 datasets) covering wide ranges equivalence ratio, cold side temperature and pressure were collected from 111 publications. The diluents included N2, H2O, CO2, Ar He. files are available on the ReSpecTh site (http://respecth.hu). Performances 12 combus...

Firebrand transport is studied for disc and cylindrical firebrands by modelling their trajectories with a coupled-physics fire model, HIGRAD/FIRETEC. Through HIGRAD/FIRETEC simulations, the size of possible firebrands and travelled distances are analysed to assess spot ignition hazard. Trajectories modelled with and without the assumption that the firebrands’ relative velocities always equal th...

This study suggests the equimolar mixture of Natural Gas (100% CH4) and Synthesis Gas (40% H2 + 40% CO + 20% CO2) as an alternative to reduce hydrocarbons consumption and reduce pollutant emissions. As a key parameter to characterize this combustible mixture, the laminar burning velocity was studied based on numerical simulations and experimental measurements in fl ames generated using a contou...
