2008 Annual Meeting
Session: Combustion Reaction Engineering
This session focuses on gas phase chemistry important in combustion, pyrolysis and other high-temperature reactive systems, plus related heterogeneous processes (e.g. catalytic combustion, soot and char formation and burn-out). Topics of interest include design and simulation of practical combustion devices and fuels, measurements or calculations of molecular thermochemistry and individual rate coefficients, and simulation methodology such as automated mechanism construction, automated mechanism reduction, uncertainty quantification, surrogate fuel models, and methods for estimating the many parameters needed for engineering these reaction systems.
