About

• This mechanism has been derived by Ramanan Sankaran in the Combustion Research Facility at Sandia National Laboratories.

• It is derived from a 17 species skeletal mechanism itself derived from the GRI-mech 1.2.

• It comprises 13 transported species, 4 QSS species, and 73 reactions.

• This mechanism is advised by the authors to be used only for flame speed calculations.

• More details on UCONN website.

• NB: The original Fortran file was using the CGS unit system (Chemkin) for the production rates computation; corrections have been made for it to work in the SI unit system (with kmol instead of mol in Cantera). A comment indicates those modifications within the file.
