Summary on Grant Application Form |

The provision of reduced chemical kinetics mechanisms is of value to the UK chemicals industry in allowing the exploitation of advanced turbulent reactinc models, and in the development of dynamic simulation and whole plant models. These models can be used in turn to assist the design, scale-up and optimisation of process and plant conditions. This proposal concerns the development and testing of methods that allow the systematic derivation of reduced kinetic mechanisms from detailed schemes. It will exploit a number of existing technologies for mechanism reduction, and will extend earlier work through novel applciation of dynamic systems analysis and error estimation techniques. This will permit the specification of the minimum number of reaction steps species in any reduced scheme required to meet the demands of a particular application. The usefulness of the techniques developed will be demonstrate through their application to a number of test cases of importance to the UK chemicals industry.
