The combustion kinetics of n-pentane was fully investigated for the first time. Ignition delay times ofn-C5H12 and Oxygen diluted in Argon mixtures were measured over a wide range of compositions, pressures and temperatures. The 240 shocks were statistically correlated and this correlation was comparedto two known kinetic schemes, those of Warnatz and of Westbrook. The schemes needed correctionswhich are discussed here.
