Biofuels ethanol mechanism

As representative examples. Tables 1 and 2 provide a small portion of a detailed mechanism for ethanol combustion ethanol is the simplest biofuel species explored in this review. The kinetic parameters for reactions pertaining to the chemistry of ethanol in a flame (the ethanol submechanism) are shovm in Table 1, while the thermochemical quantities for species involved in this submechanism are included in Table 2. As can be seen, accurately describing the chemistry of even a few chemical species requires dozens of elementary reaction steps. Moreover, as described above, a fioU detailed chemical kinetic mechanism for ethanol will also involve hundreds of other reactions for hydrogen/oxygen species Cl, C2, and C3 HC chemistry and oxidative reactions involving Cl, C2, and C3 HCs.
