Laminar flame speeds and extinction strain rates of cyclopentadiene/air mixture were determined in the counterflow configuration at atmospheric pressure, unburned mixture temperature of 353 K, and for a wide range of equivalence ratios. The experiments were modeled using recently developed kinetic models. Sensitivity analyses showed that both flame propagation and extinction of cyclopentadiene/air mixtures flames depend notably on the fuel kinetics and subsequent intermediates such as cyclopentadienyl, cyclopentadienone, and cyclopentadienoxy. Analyses of the computed flame structures revealed that the high temperature oxidation of cyclopentadiene depends in general on the kinetics of first few intermediates in the oxidation process following the fuel consumption. The potential reaction pathways of the consumption of cyclopentadienyl radicals were discussed and further investigation and validation is recommended for two relevant reactions that could improve the high temperature oxidation kinetic model of cyclopentadiene. The experimental flame data of this study are the first ones to be reported. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Inc. on behalf of The Combustion Institute.
