Kinetic mechanism of propane ignition and combustion in air

A detailed kinetic model of propane ignition and combustion in air is developed. The model includes 599 reactions with 92 species and involves both the high-temperature and low-temperature mechanisms of oxidation. The model is tested against experimental data on the ignition delay time, on propane conversion during low-temperature oxidation, on changes in species concentrations during propane pyrolysis, and on laminar flame propagation velocity. The model is tested in wide ranges of the initial temperature $T_0$ = 680–1900 K, pressure $p_0$ = 0.17–30 atm, and fuel-air equivalence ratio $\phi$ = 0.13–2.
