The authors gratefully acknowledge Prof. F. N. Egolfopoulos of the University of Southern California for his input in the preparation of the Appendix and for providing his database of laminar flame speeds for hydrocarbons and oxygenated fuels, as well as the xylene data of Fig. 29 , prior to publication. The authors also gratefully acknowledge the very useful comments of the reviewers. The work at Politecnico di Milano was supported by the European Community (Emicopter Project: CS-GA-2009-251798 ) and by the Italian Government MSE/CNR (Biofuel Project). The work at Princeton University was supported by the Combustion Energy Frontier Research Center, an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences under Award Number DE-SC0001198 , and by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research .

N2 - The primary objective of the present endeavor is to collect, consolidate, and review the vast amount of experimental data on the laminar flame speeds of hydrocarbon and oxygenated fuels that have been reported in recent years, analyze them by using a detailed kinetic mechanism for the pyrolysis and combustion of a large variety of fuels at high temperature conditions, and thereby identify aspects of the mechanism that require further revision. The review and assessment was hierarchically conducted, in the sequence of the foundational C0-C4 species; the reference fuels of alkanes (n-heptane, iso-octane, n-decane, n-dodecane), cyclo-alkanes (cyclohexane and methyl-cyclo-hexane) and the aromatics (benzene, toluene, xylene and ethylbenzene); and the oxygenated fuels of alcohols, C3H6O isomers, ethers (dimethyl ether and ethyl tertiary butyl ether), and methyl esters up to methyl decanoate. Mixtures of some of these fuels, including those with hydrogen, were also considered. The comprehensive nature of the present mechanism and effort is emphasized.
