Detailed kinetic schemes of hydrocarbon pyrolysis, partial
oxidation, and combustion are now
becoming more available in the technical literature, and despite their
dimensions and complexity
they are based on only a limited set of independent kinetic parameters
and simplifying
assumptions. These hypotheses and kinetic parameters as well as
the automatic generation of
these reaction mechanisms are discussed and analyzed in this paper.
Some examples are
reported to demonstrate the reliability of these mechanistic schemes,
both in pyrolysis processes
for ethylene production and in the oxidation of hydrocarbon mixtures in
internal combustion
engines.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
