A reduced reaction mechanism for the combustion of n-butane

A C1–C3 short chemical-kinetic mechanism (the San Diego mechanism), which involves 235 elementary reactions among 40 such species, is extended to C4 by adding 22 chemical-kinetic steps, among 7 additional species, with their associated reaction-rate parameters, to include the ignition and combustion of n-butane over a range of conditions that encompasses both low-temperature and high-temperature chemistry, as well as both high and low pressures....
