About
A detailed C/H/N/O reaction mechanism for the combustion of small hydrocarbons. This mechanism has been validated with experimental data available for oxidation, ignition, and flame structure of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, methanol, methane, ethane, propane, and some of their mixtures. This is a very precised chemistry for low temperature and radical effects.
The current version of the mechanism (Release 0.5) consists of 1200 reactions among 127 species.
