Abstract

Mueller et al. used a detailed kinetic mechanism to simulate H2O2 experiments performed at 1 atm in a flow reactor. The mechanism of Mueller et al. was used to simulate H2/O2 data over a wide range of experimental conditions: 0.05-20 atm, 298-1335 K, and in the equivalence ratio of 0.3:1-6:1. Ignition delay time, flame speed calculations, and species composition data provided for a stringent test of the chemical kinetic mechanism, all of which were simulated in the present study with reasonable agreement. This mechanism was enhanced by the addition of a CO subset and used to simulate CO experimental data over 0.05-10 atm, 298-1750 K, and in the equivalence ratio of 0.04:1-0.6:1. A sensitivity analysis was carried out to determine the important reactions that were controlling the/CO sub-mechanism. Original is an abstract.
