Abstract

Chemical Kinetics Illustrations: Methane and Hydrogen Sulfide Combustion

Ivan A Gargurevich

Methane combustion has to be one of the most studied systems but nevertheless because of the dependence of many of the rates of elementary reactions in the mechanism on pressure and temperature (unimolecular or chemically activated reactions) as well as combustion conditions, fuel-rich or lean, discrepancies can always be found between two close but different combustion mechanisms authored by different investigators(both in the kinetic coefficients of reactions as well as the results of modeling). Nevertheless, the major chemical pathways are well known
