An updated comprehensive kinetic model of hydrogen combustion

Abstract

ignition results. The reaction H+OH+M is found to be primarily significant only to laminar flame speed propagation predictions at high pressure. All experimental hydrogen flame speed observations can be adequately fit using any of the several transport coefficient estimates presently available in the literature for the hydrogen oxygen system simply by adjusting the rate parameters for this reaction within their present uncertainties.

Correlation of optical emission and turbulent length scale in a coaxial jet diffusion flame

“…For reducing the numerical dissipation inherent in the present scheme at low Mach numbers, a simple correction method proposed by Thornber et al [18] This mechanism is constructed by eliminating H 2 O 2 and chemical reactions involving it from the original reaction mechanism of Li et al [19] to remove short timescales associated with chemical stiffness. All rate constants of the present reaction mechanism are identical to those in the original mechanism.…”

Experimental and kinetic modeling study of the shock tube ignition of a large oxygenated fuel: Tri-propylene glycol mono-methyl ether

“…It contains both the alcoholic and ether moiety, with secondary C-H bonds adjacent to the alcoholic functional group and primary, secondary and tertiary C-H bonds adjacent to the ether moieties distributed throughout the molecule. Most other oxygenated fuels investigated previously in the literature (methanol [6], iso-butanol [7], dimethyl ether [8,9] and methyl tert-butyl ether [10] etc.) are much smaller than TPGME in molecular size and are either lightly-branched or straight-chained in their skeletal structure.…”

Fuel-rich methane oxidation in a high-pressure flow reactor studied by optical-fiber laser-induced fluorescence, multi-species sampling profile measurements and detailed kinetic simulations

“…It is a comprehensive kinetic mechanism including H 2 , C 1 , C 2 , C 3 and C 4 oxidation chemistry. Broadly speaking, it consists of two submechanisms: a small-molecule mechanisms by Li et al [30] for synthesis gas combustion, and a larger mechanism for C 1 -C 4 oxidation and pyrolysis by Healy et al [31]. The dependence of many elementary steps on pressure is considered and third-body efficiencies of many species are included.…”
