Abstract
A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been simultaneously developed to describe the combustion of propene under the experimental conditions described above. Important reactions highlighted via flux and sensitivity analyses include: hydrogen atom abstraction from propene by molecular oxygen, hydroxyl, and hydroperoxyl radicals; allyl-allyl radical recombination; the reaction between allyl and hydroperoxyl radicals; and the reactions of 1- and 2-propenyl radicals with molecular oxygen. The current mechanism accurately predicts the combustion characteristics of propene across the range of experimental conditions presented in this study, from jet-stirred and flow reactors and for ignition delay times and flame speed measurements presented in Part II. In comparison to a previous mechanism, AramcoMech 1.3, the current mechanism results in much improved performance, which highlights the importance of the new experimental data in constraining the important reactions.
