NC7H16_pNOx_49_246_0_TN skeletal mechanism

ID

Type of mechanism	Skeletal
Fuels	n-heptane
Oxidizer	Air
Number of species	49
Number of reversible reactions	249

This mechanism has been derived by Thomas Naess at CERFACS.
It is derived from the detailed Polimi scheme CRECK_2003_TOT_NOX using ARCANE.
This mechanism can be used for n-heptane combustion in air with NO prediction at atmospheric conditions.
Validity have been evaluated for 1D premixed flames on the following range: P = 1 atm, T = 298K – 650K, phi = 0.5 – 2.
Validity have been evaluated for 1D non-premixed flames on the following range: P = 1 atm, T = 298K, chist = 0.2 s^-1 – 7 s^-1.
The ARC mechanism comprises 49 transported species and 249 reversible reactions.
