The need for lowering the environmental impacts has incentivized the investigation of biomass and biofuels as possible alternative sources for energy supply. Among the others, oxygenated bio-derived molecules such as alcohols, esters, acids, aldehydes, and furans are attractive substances as chemical feedstock and for sustainable energy production. Indeed, the presence of oxygen atoms limits the production of aromatic compounds, improves combustion efficiency (thus heat production) and alleviates the formation of carbon soot. On the other hand, the variability of their composition has represented one of the major challenges for the complete characterization of combustion behaviour. This work gives an overview of the current understanding of the detailed chemical mechanisms, as well as experimental investigations characterizing the combustion process of these species, with an emphasis on the laminar burning velocity and the ignition delay time. From the review, the common intermediates for the most relevant functional groups and combustion of biofuels were identified. The gathered information can be intended for the sake of core mechanism generation.

In the present study, the detailed mechanism of n-pentane combustion, including 697 species and 3214 reactions, is first simplified to a mechanism with only 26 species and 134 reactions, which is suitable for the pressure of 1 atm, temperatures of 1000–1600 K, and equivalent ratios of 0.5–1.6. However, when the equivalence ratio is 1.0, in the temperature range of 1000–1100 K, compared with the detailed mechanism, the maximum error of the ignition delay time predicted by the simplified mechanism exceeds 20%. Therefore, based on the method of temperature sensitivity analysis, the simplified mechanism is further utilized through reducing the A-factor of 2HO2 = H2O2 + O2 (−1) and 2HO2 = H2O2 + O2 (−2) by 10 times. By comparing with the detailed mechanism and predicting the ignition delay time, laminar flame speed, species profile, and extinction residence time, it is found that the optimized mechanism has good accuracy in the applicable range, and is fully capable of simulating the combustion process of light hydrocarbon gas.

The paper presents the results of ignition and thermal behavior for samples of high-energy materials (HEM) based on ammonium perchlorate (AP) and ammonium nitrate (AN), active binder and powders of Al, B, AlB2, and TiB2. A CO2 laser with a heat flux density range of 90-200 W/cm2 was used for studies of ignition. The activation energy and characteristics of ignition for the HEM samples were determined. Also, the ignition delay time and the surface temperature of the reaction layer during the heating and ignition for the HEM samples were determined. It was found that the complete replacement of micron-sized aluminum powder by amorphous boron in a HEM sample leads to a considerable decrease in the ignition delay time by a factor of 2.2-2.8 at the same heat flux density due to high chemical activity and the difference in the oxidation mechanisms of boron particles. The use of aluminum diboride in a HEM sample allows one to reduce the ignition delay time of a HEM sample by a factor of 1.7-2.2. The quasi-stationary ignition temperature is the same for the AlB2-based and AlB12-based HEM samples.
