β¦ Synopsis
A form of solution for the non-linear equations governing the combustion of reactant gases in a fully-stirred reactor is develofed in terms of a general set of reactants and an arbitrary reaction mechanism. The solution for a given system is obtained by an iterative procedure suitable for use on a high-speed digital computer, and a broad outline of the FORTRAN programme is given.
The solution of the stirred reactor equations is an essential step in the correlation of data from stirred reactor experimentΒ’ with the mechanism and kinetics of the combustion process, and a general computer programme provides a convenient format for examining the possible reaction mechanisms that may be postulated. Work based on this approach has recently been carried out for the combustion of hydrogen.
The present programme may be incorpora)ed into a non-linear least.squares regression programme, enabling 'best-fit' estimates of reaction rate constants to bΒ’ determined for a given mechanism.
