Flame Studies of Oxygenates

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cleaner Combustion

Part of the book series: Green Energy and Technology ((GREEN))

Abstract

This chapter presents a comprehensive review of flame studies performed on oxygenated hydrocarbons or oxygenates of general formula CxHyOz. In particular those studies in which the authors have measured laminar flame speeds or have concentrated on speciation in flames. It is the first time that such tabulation is performed and summarizes the work carried out since the 1950s. In addition, the methods employed in determining flame speeds are outlined and their strengths and weaknesses highlighted. In a similar fashion the various diagnostic methods for measuring species concentrations in situ are reviewed.
