H2/O2 system diluted by N2, Ar, or He at 1 atm is
presented in Fig. 9.
Predictions also compare very well with shock tube
ignition delay data, as is demonstrated with representative
cases in Figs. 10–12. Figure 13 shows the reaction
time when the OH mole fraction under shock tube conditions
reaches a specific fraction of the equilibrium
value. Figures 14 and 15 show the time history of the
H and OH mole fraction in shock tube experiments.
Clearly, the current mechanism agrees with the experimental
measurements very well.
The original Mueller et al. mechanismwas validated
against 16 VPFR experiments [1]. Excellent agreement
of the model predictions with the experimental
measurement was demonstrated in Ref. [1]. The cur-
