Experimental and modeling study on the influences of methanol on premixed fuel-rich n-heptane flames

- Concentrations of n-heptane/methanol flame intermediates were measured.
- Kinetic modeling was made based on detailed reaction mechanism.
- Benzene and its potential precursors decrease with methanol addition.
- Benzene forms from self-recombination C3H3 and cross reaction between C3H3 and a-C3H5.
- Addition of methanol does not affect the reaction pathway.
