Figure 2.7: Temperature Dependence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Extended Zeldovich Mechanism (no fuel included<br />

in <strong>the</strong> reactants). The plot shows <strong>the</strong> variation between three reference<br />

mechanisms (GRI 3.0, GRI 2.11, and “Methane (Leeds) + NO x (Leeds)”) and two<br />

representative combinations <strong>of</strong> C 10 H 22 mechanism and NO x kinetics (“n-Decane<br />

(Princeton) + NO x (Li)” and “n-Heptane (Princeton) + NO x (Li)”) [298].<br />
