... where the coefficients A, n, and Ea are tabulated for every reaction involved in the mechanism, T is the temperature of the burning system, and R is the universal gas constant. Recent mechanisms for practical diesel and biodiesel fuels can include nearly 3,000 chemical species and 11,000 elementary reactions (Westbrook et al., 2010; Naik et al., 2010)
From page 89...
... illustrates that it is possible for the combustion community to accept and thrive in a common, highly validated, and thorough reaction mechanism environment, but experience also has shown that when financial support for that kinetic model ended, the concept of a combustion community collective kinetic model disappeared. It should be noted that, like many other features of a cyberinfrastruc ture, the chemical kinetic part would consist of a fairly complicated task in data management, visualization, and computer science in general, as well as in combustion kinetics.
