Abstract
Our model /1/ of a premixed, steady-state flame includes detailed elementary chemical reactions and requires as input not only the kinetics information (of our immediate interest), but also thermodynamic and transport data. Fortunately for the types of chemical species we are interested in, the thermodynamics input is by and large well defined /2/, /3/. In addition, while some transport coefficients are only well defined through low temperature (< 1000 K) measurements /4/, the theory is sufficiently developed to allow reasonable estimates to be made at higher temperatures /5/. A theory has been developed for multi-component mixtures /5/ – /9/, but it is computationally cumbersome. To circumvent this, previous workers have generally employed some level of simplification /10/ – /20/.
