Abstract
= 700-1200 K. These new data significantly extend the number of experimental targets for kinetic model validation available at present for pyrrole combustion. After a thorough revision of previous theoretical and kinetic modeling studies, a preliminary kinetic model is developed and validated by means of comparison to new experimental data and those previously reported in the literature. The rate of production and sensitivity analyses highlight important pathways deserving further investigations for a better understanding of pyrrole and, more in general, N fuel combustion chemistry. A critical discussion on experimental challenges to be faced when dealing with pyrrole is also reported, encouraging further experimental investigation with advanced diagnostics.
