74-98-6 | Propane

Chemical type

• Hydrocarbon fuel
• Alkane

^{Cite 1}

• Light alkane
• Saturated hydrocarbon feedstock

^{Cite 2}

Key properties

• Medium-sized fuel molecule with moderate compression levels (q_min^CPU = q_min^acc = 60)
• Similar source term error trends to methane due to shared kinetic mechanisms
• Activates full reaction pathway in C1C3 mechanism, slightly limiting reduction compared to methane
• Combusted in air mixtures with equivalence ratios (φ) from 0.3 to 1.5 and initial temperatures (T₀) from 1200 K to 1800 K

^{Cite 1}

• Chemically stable C–H bonds
• Requires catalytic activation
• Non-polar molecule

^{Cite 2}

• Fuel in 0D constant-pressure batch reactor simulations
• Validation of LV framework for handling detailed chemistry
• Employed to evaluate solver performance across lumped and detailed mechanisms
• Used to achieve computational speed-ups (up to 45.4% with detailed mechanisms, average ~2x overall)

^{Cite 1}

• Feedstock for dehydrogenation reactions
• Precursor for propene production

^{Cite 2}

Classification by use
