Abstract
The aim of this study is the characterization of ethyl valerate combustion by analysing a rich flat flame structure at low pressure and by determining the laminar burning velocities. A rich flame was stabilized on a burner at 55 mbar and analysed by gas chromatography. Oxygenated species are the first intermediates and the main pathway of the ethyl valerate decomposition is through the formation of valeric acid and ethylene. Laminar burning velocities measured at 1 atm and 318, 328 and 338 K are presented and discussed in relation to the only available dataset from the literature. A kinetic model has been elaborated and tested against the low pressure flame to check its validity. It contains 1733 elementary reactions and 274 chemical species.
