Physical Chemistry Division (I)

COMMISSION ON CHEMICAL KINETICS (I.4)

Number: 140/6/93

Title: Evaluated Chemical Kinetic Data for Combustion Chemistry

Coordinator(s): M.J. Pilling

Remarks: NIST, CEC Combustion Data Panel

Completion Date: 2001 - project terminated

Objective:
Global environmental pollution arises in part because of the use of fossil fuels. A major goal of power plant and engine design is to maximize efficiency and minimize pollutant levels. The basis for making design changes to achieve these goals includes modeling the chemistry at the molecular level. This requires the development of a consensus evaluated chemical kinetics data base. Because the problem to be addressed is international in scope, IUPAC is ideally suited to provide a mechanism for collaboration in defining the scientific issues.

Progress:
A panel of experts has been assembled, consisting of Prof.D.L. Baulch, Prof. C.T. Bowman, Dr. R.A. Cox, Prof. Th. Just, Prof.A. J. Kerr, Prof. M.J. Pilling, Prof. J. Troe, Dr. W. Tsang, Prof. R.A. Walker, and Prof. J. Warnatz. The general format for the evaluation has been adopted: each reaction data sheet will provide the thermodynamic data for the reaction, the experimental data, and the evaluation. Substantial progress has been made. The initial list of reactions has been selected and assigned to particular evaluators. Evaluation is underway and progress will be reviewed at the first meeting of the panel to be held in Oxford in September, 1997.

New coordinator replacing D. Baulch; Publication is in preparation.

Last Update: 6 June 2000

Project terminated 31 dec 2001
