Abstract

A skeletal mechanism for methane combustion with PAH formation for the following operating conditions of pressure, temperate and mixture ratio - bar < p < 60 bar, 900 K < T < 1800 K and 1.0 < Φ < 3.0 - has been developed and validated applying a broad experimental data base. The input model with 91 species and 766 reactions was reduced to a skeletal model which includes 62 species and 391 reactions. Both input and skeletal models predict satisfactory flame velocities, ignitions delays, PAH profiles and soot volume fractions in laminar premixed flames. For heat release modeling purposes a much shorter mechanism with 21 species and 67 reactions was developed, too. All models have 3 inert species in common: Ar, N2, He.
