Abstract
Reduced kinetic mechanisms were developed to describe the ignition of mixtures of small hydrocarbons in shock waves. The approach combined elementary and generalized reactions to account for the chemical processes of chain initiation, propagation, true and degenerate branching, and termination. The rate coefficients for the elementary reactions were retained at their measured values, while the rate coefficients for the generalized reactions were adjusted to match a small set of shock tube ignition delay data. Comparison with a broad range of experimental data for methane, ethane and mixtures of both indicated good agreement for the whole range of conditions studied in shock tubes so far.
