4. Conclusion and outlook
The development of detailed kinetic models for the oxidation and auto-ignition of fuel components has expanded considerably over the last twenty years. Today, the most advanced models for alkanes are able to reproduce very satisfactorily many of the overall combustion parameters (auto-ignition times, reactant conversion, heat release, flame speeds) required for engine design or safety devices in oxidation processes. This prediction remains more difficult for unsaturated or cyclic hydrocarbons, which are also present in significant quantities (around 60% by mass) in gasolines or fuel oils. Despite the fact that oxygenated molecules are the major components of biomass fuels, detailed kinetic models are still too rare for these species
