✦ Synopsis

The experimental ignition delay values of methane-oxygen-argon-nitrogen dioxide mixtures published recently are confirmed and explained in this paper with the help of calculated ignition delay data. Calculation was done using a computer program with 38 reactions whose values were taken from the literature. Only two of these reactions were iteratively fitted and their rates were found to be 2.4 × 1011 cc/mole sec for CH 3 + NO 2 -, NO + CHsO and 1.0 × 1011 cc/mole sec for the CH30 + 02 -~ CH20 + HO 2 reaction.
