The Development of Detailed Chemical Kinetics Models for n-Heptane and Toluene Combustion.

Abstract

Detailed chemical kinetics mechanisms for the combustion of n-heptane, a toluene/n-heptane blend and toluene have been assembled and validated against counterflow diffusion flame and stirred reactor data. To our knowledge, this is the first published comprehensive data of n-heptane, toluene/n-heptane and toluene diffusion flame structures using detailed chemistry and the first reported successful effort at predicting intermediate species in the structures of these flames.
