About
- This mechanism has been derived by Tianfeng Lu in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University.
- It is derived from a 30 species skeletal mechanism itself derived from the GRI-mech 3.0.
- It comprises 19 transported species, 11 QSS species and 184 reactions.
- More details on UCONN website.
- NB: The original fortran file was using CGS unit system (Chemkin) for the production rates computation; corrections have been made for it to work in SI unit system (with kmol instead of mol in Cantera). A comment indicates those modifications within the file.
