Ethane-O2-H2O combustion

Ethane-O2-H2O combustion

Ethane-O2-H2O combustion

(OP)
I have a mixture of C2H6-O2-H2O.
I would have a computer simulation of this combustion.
Where can I find everything I need? (reactions, rate costants, activaction energy...)

RE: Ethane-O2-H2O combustion

If you have Hysys or some process simulator a quick and dirty method is to add CO2 and CO to your components then run your mixture through a Gibbs minimization reactor.  Without much more input than feed composition to the reactor block the simulator should do a pretty decent job of predicting flue gas composition, adiabatic flame temperature, and energy released.

If you require more detail a company like John Zink or HEC would probably be happy to help.

RE: Ethane-O2-H2O combustion

(OP)
I have just found a mechanism for ethane. It's very accurate but too many reaction and species don't permit to run under COMSOL or any CFD software.

I need a one step mechanism to estimate flame temperature and CO2,H2O,C2H6 and O2 concentraction.
