Reaction Mechanisms

Mechanisms from four of the references listed above have been compared to the available shock tube data: [Allen et al. (1995)], [Baulch et al. (1994a)], [Miller and Bowman (1989)], and [Frenklach et al. (1995)]. These were selected for evaluation because they are more comprehensive than the others. [Baulch et al. (1994a)] is a supplement to and includes all the data of [Baulch et al. (1992)], and is apparently identical to [Baulch et al. (1994b)]. [Cobos et al. (1985)] contains some fall-off data. [Dean et al. (1978)] gives data on some important O₂ reactions involving H₂ and CO. [Frank and Just (1985)] provides a reduced mechanism for H₂-O₂-N₂O reactions. [Frenklach and Bornside (1984)] and [Frenklach et al. (1992)] seem to be forerunners of [Frenklach et al. (1995)] and do not include nitrogen. [Zuev and Starikovskii (1992)] contains a mechanism for H₂-N₂O reactions. The modified form of the [Miller and Bowman (1989)] mechanism (see Section 3.1.7) was also evaluated.
