PRF reaction mechanism
 
Hello All,

I am new to combustion modeling.

I wanted to know if I can use the PRF mechanism published on the website below to model CH4 combustion?
http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~tlu/mechs/mechs.htm

I don't want to use the reaction mechanism developed for CH4.

Thanks

As far as I know, you can not.
the prf mechanism in the mentioned webpage, is for a dual fuel engine simulation.
premixed n-heptane and iso-octane or you can use it in premixed of iso octane and non premixed of n-heptane, too or vice versa.
Additionally, a little concentrations of iso-octane and n-heptan appears in the end of simulation, if you use it for CH4 combustion which is far from real cases.
