In this research, an experimental and kinetic modelling study of the oxidation of 2-MF in the absence and presence of NO has been performed in an atmospheric pressure laboratory installation. The experiments were performed in a flow reactor and covered the temperature range from 800 to 1400 K, for mixtures from very fuel-rich to very fuel-lean, highly diluted in nitrogen. The inlet 2-MF concentration was 100 ppm. In the experiments in the presence of NO, the inlet NO concentration was 900 ppm. An interpretation of the experimental results was performed through a gas-phase chemical kinetic model. A reasonable agreement between the experimental trends and the modelling data is obtained. The results of the concentration profile of 2-MF as a function of temperature indicate that, both in the absence and in the presence of NO, the onset of 2-MF consumption is shifted to lower temperatures only under fuel-lean and very fuel-lean conditions. Furthermore, under these conditions the presence of NO also shifts the onset of 2-MF consumption to lower temperatures. The effect of the 2-MF presence on the NO reduction varies with the oxygen concentration. It is seen that under very fuel-rich and stoichiometric conditions NO is reduced basically by reburn reactions, while under fuel-lean and very fuel-lean conditions, the NO-NO2 interconversion appears to be dominant.2015http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/5635910.1007/s10494-015-9635-zhttp://zaguan.unizar.es/record/56359oai:zaguan.unizar.es:56359info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/GPTinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/CTQ2012-34423FLOW TURBULENCE AND COMBUSTION (2015), [20 pp.]All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
