NUMERICAL MODELING OF SPATIALLY HOMOGENEOUS COMBUSTION OF METHANE IN OXYGEN
A model of ignition of spatially homogeneous mixture of methane and oxygen at a constant pressure is created. Modeling of oxidative conversion of methane into synthesis gas, including with initiation by electron beam is conducted. It is shown that decomposition of methane and oxygen under influence of beam and subsequent reactions lead to volume heating of initial mixture, which can significantly reduce the ignition temperature.
