Abstract
Abstract An experimental and numerical study of methanol kinetics has been conducted. A detailed kinetic scheme was compiled which closely predicts properties of mixtures of methanol, oxygen, and inert for a variety of experimental configurations and conditions. The scheme incorporates the most recent kinetic information and was tested against experimental data for the propagation speeds and structure of laminar flames as well as the species concentration evolutions in flow reactors, static reactors, and shock tubes. The laminar flame speeds of atmospheric methanol/air mixtures were determined using the counter-flow flame technique over extensive lean-to-rich fuel concentration ranges and for initial mixture temperatures ranging from 318 to 368 K., while the experimental data on the laminar flame structure and from reactors and shock tubes were obtained from the literature. The scheme compiled herein includes the detailed C1, C2, and methanol submechanisms and yields close agreement with all of the experi...
