@AForiguaC@LatinXChem@RSC_ReactionEng@RSC_MolEng@LatinXinChE Hi, @AForiguaC. I appreciate your inquiry.
Yes, all mechanisms compared in this work consider the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2*) pathway. However, as illustrated in the figures below, the formation of this radical is notably minor when contrasted with the hydroxyl radical (OH*). +
@cwcoley@LatinXChem@RSC_ReactionEng@RSC_MolEng@LatinXinChE In essence, while the San Diego mechanism performed well in this specific context, it is important to approach these findings with further investigation, possibly with more advanced computational resources, to draw definitive conclusions.
@cwcoley@LatinXChem@RSC_ReactionEng@RSC_MolEng@LatinXinChE It is worth noting that the C3Mech mechanism demonstrated accurate results in validating lean hydrogen combustion conditions in previous studies, indicating its potential in different scenarios.
@cwcoley@LatinXChem@RSC_ReactionEng@RSC_MolEng@LatinXinChE However, it is understood that this qualitative result can be translated into quantitative error values, using methodologies such as RMSE or even the R². This would result in a smaller error between the experimental pressure and the simulation using the San Diego mechanism.
@cwcoley@LatinXChem@RSC_ReactionEng@RSC_MolEng@LatinXinChE Hi, professor.
The metric employed for comparison was based on qualitative results. The San Diego curve distinguished itself by staying within the range of experimental values, making it the optimal fit among the models assessed.
