A skeletal mechanism for prediction of ignition delay times and laminar premixed flame velocities of hydrogen-methane mixtures under gas turbine conditions

The aim of this study is to eliminate unimportant steps from a detailed chemical-kinetic mechanism in order to identify a skeletal kinetic mechanism that can predict with sufficient accuracy ignition delay times and laminar premixed-flame velocities for H2-CH4 mixtures under conditions of practical interest in gas-turbine applications, which pertain to high pressure, high reactant temperature, and primarily lean-to-stoichiometric mixture...
