A REDUCED KINETIC MECHANISM FOR PROPANE FLAMES

A Simplified Reaction Mechanism for Propane Combustion

A simplified reaction mechanism for propane combustion has been derived. This scheme is based on two competitive fuel decomposition reactions. Further, the combustion of hydrogen has been used to derive the concentrations of the intermediate reactive species, and the kinetic parameters for the rate equations are estimated through comparison of the species concentrations calculated using detaile...

The Effects of Platinum on Propane/Air Stagnation Flow Flames

Reduced Kinetic Mechanisms in Time Dependent Numerical Simulations of Nonpremixed Flames

It is of great theoretical interest to investigate the interaction between ames and vortices as a model problem to study turbulent combustion because a eld of turbulence can be considered as an ensemble of vortices of various length and time scales. Interaction between ames and vortices governs the rate of combustion and results in di erent types of instabilites. The goal of this study is to un...

Zeolitic imidazolate frameworks for kinetic separation of propane and propene.

Propane/propene separation by cryogenic distillation is one of the most energy and cost intensive industrial processes. Adsorptive separation is a more energy-efficient alternative. Three isostructural zinc imidazolate zeolitic framework materials are found, for the first time, to be very promising in the separation of propene and propane based on their different diffusion rates. Fine-tuning of...

A kinetic inhibition mechanism for maintenance.

To fulfil their maintenance costs, most species use mobile pools of metabolites (reserve) in favourable conditions, but can also use less mobile pools (structure) under food-limiting conditions. While some empirical models always pay maintenance costs from structure, the presence of reserve inhibits the use of structure for maintenance purposes. The standard dynamic energy budgets (DEB) model c...
