Abstract:

In the construction of detailed combustion mechanisms, the reaction networks become more and more complicated so far, thus the numbers of species and reactions increase seriously. On the other hand, the too large size of the reaction mechanism will make the combustion numerical simulation difficult in practice. In this work, the minimized reaction network method(MRN) based on the principle of chemical simultaneous equilibrium was proposed in order to construct detailed combustion mechanism with minimum number of reaction steps for the given chemical species and applied to hydrogen-oxygen combustion at first. Six independent reactions were determined for an eight-species system. This minimized mechanism in principle is enough to describe the combustion process. However, some global reactions need to be replaced by other reaction steps owing to the lack of the rate constants. In this way, a nine-step detailed mechanism of hydrogen combustion(MRN-C0) was developed. In dealing with the kinetic parameters, the two-parameter Arrhenius equation was adopted to replace the so-called modified Arrhenius equation. Such a treatment guarantees the physics of the activation energy and pre-exponential factor. The reliability of this new method, MRN, has been verified through the numerical simulations of ignition delay time and laminar flame with the nine-step hydrogen combustion mechanism.
