“…In addition, the ignition delay times 5,11,15,17 and laminar burning velocity 6,7,18,19 of pentanol also receive attention, because these two combustion characteristics can serve as benchmarks for the validation of a kinetic model. Meanwhile, several mechanisms 3,4,[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] for linear pentanols have been proposed via experimental data or theoretical investigations, which have been validated against measurements in shock tubes, rapid compression machines, jet-stirred reactors, and premixed laminar flames under a wide range of conditions. The pyrolysis of linear pentanol can produce a large amount of radicals when the C-C, C-O, C-H, or O-H bonds break, and after a short induction period the chemistry is mainly driven by abstraction reactions mostly by : H, : CH 3 , and : OH radicals under practically relevant conditions, producing different linear pentanol radical isomers.…”
