Hi everyone,


I am looking for a reaction mechanism (mech-thermo-transport) which inculdes the species: trimethylamine and/or triethylamine. I would like to figure out how these amines affect the combustion behaviour of different fuel when adding it as a fluorescence tracer. Unfortunately I could not find any combustion/ oxidation/ chemical/ kinetic mechanism for tri-...-amines. Even when I looked for general amine mechanisms I was not successful. I spent quiet some time and decided to ask you people.
Perhabs you have some hint or even a mechansim covering these species.
I appreciate your help.
Regards

Sven

Finding specific reaction mechanisms for trimethylamine and triethylamine in combustion is challenging. Here are a few suggestions:
Literature Search: Look for academic papers on amine combustion. Keywords like "amine combustion mechanism" and "trimethylamine oxidation" might help.
Combustion Databases: Check databases like NIST, PrIMe, or the Combustion Chemistry Centre at NUI Galway for related mechanisms.
Research Groups: Contact experts in combustion chemistry. They might have relevant data or ongoing research.
Simulation Software: Use tools like CHEMKIN or Cantera to adapt existing mechanisms to include these amines. retro bowl
I hope this helps! Good luck with your research.

Hi glenhansen,
thank you for the reply . I asked chat gpt regarding my problem and it provided me a similar answer. Unfortunately, even with that hints I was not able to find something. That is why I hoped asking a cfd community might give me more answers.
