DESCRIPTION OF THE TARGET

Target NF11: Ratio of CH peak concentrations at two levels of NO doping in a laminar premixed flame

Mixtures: CH4-O2-NO-Ar (19.01%/38%/1.2%/41.79%); CH4-O2-Ar (19.01%/38%/42.99%)
phi = 1.0; P = 10 torr; flow rate = 1.8e-3 gm/cm^2 s

SENSITIVITY DIAGRAM

The sensitivity spectrum shown below was computed with a reaction mechanism composed of GRI-Mech 1.2 and an evaluated 'literature' (i.e., non-optimized) set of 99 reactions of nitrogen-containing species
