Abstract
2-Methylfuran (MF) with the same properties to those of gasoline can be used as an alternative fuel or fuel additive directly in the engines. Low-pressure laminar premixed MF/O2/Ar flames with equivalence ratios of 0.80 1.00 and 1.50 were studied to study the flame structure of MF. A revised MF mechanism was employed to analyze the reaction pathways of MF combining the formation and consumption reactions of some key species e.g. 2-furylmethyl propargyl 1-oxo-134-pentatriene 1-oxo-13-butadiene acrolein and methyl vinyl ketone. The current mechanism well predicted the H-addition products of MF but underestimated the H-abstraction products.
