Abstract:

The Arrhenius equation with two parameters, activation energy(E) and pre-exponential factor(A), was proposed to describe the temperature dependence of reaction rate constant in developing combustion mechanisms. As a test, the UCSD core mechanism has been re-parameterized using the two-parameter Arrhenius equation and applied to the kinetic simulation of some small molecule systems, without changing the numbers of species and elemental reactions. The results showed that although the overall mechanism optimization is not performed, the results are basically comparable with the three-parameter mechanism. The advantage of the two-parameterization is the physics of the activation energy in Arrhenius equation, and in this way one can carry out the comparison and migration of the rate constants between different mechanisms. Furthermore, the number of the variable in the global optimization of mechanism aimed at such as ignition delay time of a fuel, can be reduced considerably.
