Assessment of detailed reaction mechanisms for reproduction of ignition delay times of C2–C6 alkenes and acetylene

The main aim of the work was to assess the performance of selected detailed reaction mechanisms (DRM) with regard to calculating the ignition delay times (IDTs) of C2–C6 alkenes and acetylene. To carry out the analysis an extensive literature review was done in order to collect ignition delay time data. The data included IDTs obtained with shock tubes only, giving in total 1206 experimental points for acetylene, ethene, propene, 1-,2-,...
