The mechanism by which CH2O and H2O2 additives affect the autoignition of CH4/air mixtures (2015)
Journal Article
Manias, D. M., Tingas, E. A., Frouzakis, C. E., Boulouchos, K., & Goussis, D. A. (2016). The mechanism by which CH2O and H2O2 additives affect the autoignition of CH4/air mixtures. Combustion and Flame, 164, 111-125. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.combustflame.2015.11.008

When the fast dissipative time scales become exhausted, the evolution of reacting processes is characterized by slower time scales. Here the case where these slower time scales are of explosive character is considered. This feature allows for the acq...
