Experimental and Numerical Study of Flame Propagation of Biofuels/Oxidizers/Inert Mixtures

Dear Colleagues, 

You are invited to contribute to a Special Issue of Processes on “Experimental and Numerical Study of Flame propagation of Biofuels/Oxidizers/Inert Mixtures”. Biofuels have recently attracted more attention for applications in energy generation and transportation. The flame propagation of fuels/oxidizers/inert mixtures is studied in order to estimate their normal burning velocity, which is considered to be a fundamental property of a fuels/oxidizers/inert mixtures, depending on the fuel type, oxidizer type, equivalence ratio, pressure, temperature and mass fraction of any gases, with a significant impact on many aspects of combustion. The normal burning velocities are used also for predicting the emissions and performance of internal and external combustion systems. In basic research, the laminar burning velocity is a key parameter for validating models of combustion wave propagation, which take into account a detailed chemical kinetics.

This Special Issue aims to present high-quality research studies addressing challenges in the broad area of flame propagation of biofuels/oxidizers/inert mixtures. Recent research involving experimental and numerical studies of burning velocities of biofuels/oxidizers/inert mixtures are highly encouraged but are not limited to this.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
