Prediction of the behaviour of combustion systems: modelling

  • Chapter
Chemistry of Hydrocarbon Combustion

  • 158 Accesses

Abstract

Complex mathematical models are being applied increasingly to combustion and pyrolysis systems [1, 2]. Such models may, for example, be used to interpret experimental measurements, to extrapolate our knowledge of systems to experimentally inaccessible conditions or to predict the behaviour of untried systems. Models which have been devised vary in complexity and sophistication and, in order to simulate realistically a practical combustion process, they may contain many sub-models to represent the fundamental chemical and physical processes which occur. For example, even when sub-models representing the fluid dynamics and heat and mass transfer of a combustion system have been taken into account, an appropriate sub-model describing the chemical kinetics must be incorporated. Final selection of a model must fall within the constraints imposed by ultimate use, time allowed for development and computation, knowledge of the mechanism and the quality of the data available [1, 3].
