CECR Research: Reduced Mechanisms for Methane-Air Flames including NOx Chemistry

CECR Research:

Reduced mechanisms were derived from a skeletal mechanism to model nonpremixed methane combustion and the relevant nitrogen chemistry.

This mechanism can be implemented in three ways:

Five-step reduced mechanism describing hydrocarbon chemistry: Choose this option if you are modeling methane flames but not concerned with the nitrogen chemistry.
Eleven-step reduced mechanism describing hydrocarbon and nitrogen chemistry: This mechanism models both methane oxidation and the nitrogen chemistry.
Six-step reduced mechanism describing hydrocarbon chemistry and nitric oxide emissions: This mechanism also models methane oxidation and predicts NOx emissions fairly accurately (but not intermediates in the nitrogen chemistry).
