Construction of Detailed Chemical Reaction Models

Abstract

Additional principles of chemical reaction kinetics will also be presented with the purpose of building, starting with elementary reactions, complex mechanisms. These mechanisms consisting of hundreds of elementary reactions can be used with existing software to make predictions on the performance of chemical reactors with special consideration to the formation of trace species. The focus will be on homogeneous processes taking place in the gas phase. The majority of the material presented in this manuscript is based on the author's own research.
