Progress in detailed kinetic modeling of the combustion of oxygenated components of biofuels

► Review of the major detailed kinetic models already proposed in literature for the combustion of alcohols, methyl esters, acyclic and cyclic ethers. ► Description of the specific classes of reactions considered for modeling the chemistry of the oxidation of acyclic alcohol, ester and ether molecules, respectively. ► Description of the specific classes of reactions considered for modeling the chemistry of the oxidation of saturated and unsaturated cyclic ethers (e.g. tetrahydrofuran, dimethylfuran).
