An updated comprehensive kinetic model of hydrogen combustion

Abstract A comprehensively tested H 2 /O 2 chemical kinetic mechanism based on the work of Mueller et al. 1 and recently published kinetic and thermodynamic information is presented. The revised mechanism is validated against a wide range of experimental conditions, including those found in shock tubes, flow reactors, and laminar premixed flame. Excellent agreement of the model predictions with the experimental observations demonstrates that the mechanism is comprehensive and has good predictive capabilities for different experimental systems, including new results published subsequent to the work of Mueller et al. 1 , particularly high‐pressure laminar flame speed and shock tube ignition results. The reaction…
