Gri-mech mechanism
The GRI-Mech mechanism is a detailed set of chemical reactions used to model how natural gas, mainly methane, burns. It provides a comprehensive blueprint of the steps molecules undergo when reacting with oxygen, including various intermediate compounds. This helps scientists and engineers accurately predict combustion behavior, efficiency, and pollutant formation in engines and burners. Think of it as a precise recipe that guides understanding of how methane combusts under different conditions, enabling better design and control of combustion systems for cleaner and more efficient energy use.
