Flow Reactor Experiments

• Hunter, T.B, Ph.D. Thesis, Pennsylvania State University, 1994; Hunter, T.B., Wang, H., Litzinger, T.A., and Frenklach, M. Combust. Flame 97:201 (1994). The experimental data on methane combustion were obtained in the Penn State High Pressure Optically Accessible Flow Reactor facility. Numerical tests were performed on three sets of data:
  • P=6 atm, T=953 K, phi=0.19
  • P=10 atm, T=953 K, phi=0.20
  • P=6 atm, T=974 K, phi=0.20
