2.8.5.3 Soot Oxidation Reaction<br />

Once soot particles are created in the flame zone, they start interacting with the<br />

surrounding gas mixture and with one another. Therefore, if oxidizers such as O, OH,<br />

and O 2 are available in the gas mixture, the soot particles are also subjected to<br />

oxidation. Neoh et al. 27 found that the most effective soot oxidizer in the flame zone is<br />

OH and determined that the collision efficiency (or sticking coefficient) for the OH<br />

oxidation reaction is 0.13. For simplicity, the current mechanism only includes soot<br />

oxidation due to OH:<br />

(S14) OH+(S)+C(B)=>CO+H(S) 0.13 0.0 8000.0<br />
