Kinetics of methane oxidation in a high pressure jetstirred reactor : experimental results

In this paper are reported the recent kinetic results obtained on methane oxidation in our high pressure jet stirred reactor. The experiments were carried out in the pressure range 1 to 10 atm, at temperatures between 1025 and 1285 K, for equivalence ratios of 0.1 to 2 at initial hydrocarbon mole fraction of 0.003. By means of computer modeling, the main reaction channels involved in methane oxidation have been delineated. Such results are used to interprete the present data
