kiva 3v CNG

March 1, 2006, 11:52

hello dear kiva users. in the examples of kiva there are 4 kinetic and 6 equilibrium reactions and the default fuel is gasoline. to convert the fuel to CNG(CH4)should i change the constants of the above 10 equation? please explane it.

sincerely yours. ali mottalea. M.SC. of MEC. engineering. sharif university tehran.

dear ali,

yes, you have to change the constants to the appropriate ones according to the reactants and kinetics being considered.

i suppose it would be the best if you try to simulate using the shortest/simplified mechanism first before using complex one.

best wishes
