Phenomenological Model for Hydrocarbon High-Temperature Autoignition M. Petrova F. Williams Domenic Tassoni Combustion Model Hydrocarbons above 1000 K Four step chain process Fuel/Oxidizer Collision Fuel Consumption by free radicals Oxidizer Consumption by free radicals Chain Termination Role of Radicals in Combustion Combustion of hydrocarbons releases energy. This energy causes stable molecules to dissociate into reactive radicals OH, H, O are all common radicals These radicals cause more reactions which raises the temperature further. Allene (C3H4) Example Initiation Step: C3H4 + O2 →
