Chemical kinetic modeling of a methane opposed-flow diffusion flame and ocmparison to experiments

摘要

The chemical structure of an opposed-flow,methane diffusion flame is studied using a chemical kinetic model and the results are compared with experimental measurements.THe chemical kinetic paths leading to aromatics and polycyclic aromatics hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the diffusion flame are identified.These paths all involve resonantly stabilized radicals that include propargyl,allyl,cyclopentadienyl,and benzyl radicals.
