About

  • Developed by the University of California San Diego in the philosophy of minimizing the number of species and reactions for the scope of combustion rather than being “chemically” complete.
  • It is a detailed kinetic mechanism tailored for many combustion processes from C0 to C4 with 57 species in 268 reactions.
  • A detailed kinetic mechanism can be extracted for hydrogen which will comprise 9 species and 21 reactions (labeled below as C0 mechanism).
