Global reduced mechanisms for methane and hydrogen combustion with nitric oxide formation constructed with CSP data

Reduced mechanisms for methane-air and hydrogen-air combustion including NO formation have been constructed with the computational singular perturbation (CSP) method using the fully automated algorithm described by Massias et al. The analysis was performed on solutions of unstrained adiabatic premixed flames with detailed chemical kinetics described by GRI 2.11 for methane and a 71-reaction mechanism for hydrogen including NO x formation. A 10-step reduced mechanism for methane has been constructed which reproduces accurately laminar burning velocities, flame temperatures and mass fraction distributions of major species for the whole flammability range. Many steady-state species are also predicted satisfactorily. This mechanism is an improvement over the seven-step set of Massias et al, especially for rich flames, because the use of HCNO, HCN and C2H2 as major species results in a better calculation of prompt NO. The present 10-step mechanism may thus also be applicable to diffusion flames. A five-step me...
