4. Conclusion and outlook
The development of detailed kinetic models for the oxidation and auto-ignition of fuel components has expanded considerably over the last ten years. Today, the most advanced models for alkanes can satisfactorily reproduce many of the overall combustion parameters (auto-ignition times, reactant conversion, heat release, flame speeds) required for engine design or safety devices in oxidation processes. This prediction becomes more difficult for unsaturated or cyclic hydrocarbons, which are also present in significant quantities (around 60% by mass) in gasolines or fuel oils. Despite the fact that oxygenated molecules are the major components of biomass fuels, detailed kinetic models are still too rare for these species.
While many of these models can also reproduce the formation of the main regulated pollutants (carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, unburned hydrocarbons),...
