BRIEF DESCRIPTION

This mechanism is updated from the Wang-Frenklach97 mechanism listed at this site. The modifications include reactions of gas-phase and aromatic species.

GETTING THE FILES

The following files can be loaded into your computer:

abf_mech90torr.dat A reaction mechanism and rate coefficient file for a 90-torr pressure, in Chemkin format

PERFORMANCE THAT WE KNOW ABOUT

This mechanism predicts well the major, minor, and aromatic species up to pyrene in laminar premixed flames of ethane, ethylene and acetylene fuels.
