Book excerpt: Studies were conducted in several relevant areas, including (1) validation of the chemistry and transport models against the extinction of ultra-lean premixed hydrogen-air mixtures, (2) a comprehensive theoretical analysis of the reaction kinetics of carbon monoxide and the hydroxyl radical, (3) a theoretical kinetic study of the decomposition of ethylene oxide; (4) a gas-kinetic analysis for the transport properties of long chain molecules in dilute gases, (5) quantum-chemistry, master equation modeling of the unimolecular decomposition of ortho-benzyne, (6) extension of the previously developed hydrogenicarbon model to combustion pressures as high as 600 atm, (7) an updated kinetic mechanism of small-hydrocarbon fuel combustion for use as a kinetic foundation of higher hydrocarbon combustion, and (8) a methodology for kinetic uncertainty propagation. These projects represent the two key ingredients for meeting the overall project objectives: (a) an accurate physico-chemical property database for combustion kinetics, and (b) a unified and optimized kinetic model for liquid aliphatic and aromatic fuel combustion with quantifiable uncertainties.
