Peters four-step chemistry is a systematically reduced mechanism for methane combustion, named after Norbert Peters, who derived it in 1985. [1] [2] [3] The mechanism reads as [4]
Methane is an important greenhouse gas, responsible for around 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the industrial revolution. [58] Methane has a global warming potential (GWP) of 29.8 ± 11 compared to CO 2 (potential of 1) over a 100-year period, and 82.5 ± 25.8 over a 20-year period. [59]
Any mixture of methane and air will therefore lie on the straight line between pure methane and pure air – this is shown as the blue air-line. The upper and lower flammability limits of methane in air are located on this line, as shown (labelled UEL and LEL, respectively). The stoichiometric combustion of methane is: CH 4 + 2O 2 → CO 2 + 2H ...
Methane vapor pressure vs. temperature. Uses formula log 10 P mm Hg = 6.61184 − 389.93 266.00 + T ∘ C {\displaystyle \log _{10}P_{\text{mm Hg}}=6.61184-{\frac {389.93}{266.00+T_{^{\circ }{\text{C}}}}}} given in Lange's Handbook of Chemistry , 10th ed. Note that formula loses accuracy near T crit = −82.6 °C
In a tetrahedral molecular geometry, a central atom is located at the center with four substituents that are located at the corners of a tetrahedron.The bond angles are arccos(− 1 / 3 ) = 109.4712206...° ≈ 109.5° when all four substituents are the same, as in methane (CH 4) [1] [2] as well as its heavier analogues.
The engine is powered by cryogenic liquid methane and liquid oxygen, a combination known as methalox. SpaceX's super-heavy-lift Starship uses Raptor engines in its Super Heavy booster and in the Starship second stage. [16] Starship missions include lifting payloads to Earth orbit and is also planned for missions to the Moon and Mars. [17]
Complete revamp, giving a better likeness to File:Methane-CRC-MW-3D-vdW.png. Gradients are vastly improved, as are the sizes and shapes of atoms. Uploading this way (rather than as a separate image) would save numerous edits to target articles. 17:03, 24 October 2006: 1,100 × 1,100 (5 KB) Dbc334
It handles instantaneous, continuous, and pool releases, and can model gases, particulates, and liquids. The model has a three regime structure: that of single building (area density < 5%), urban array (area density > 5%) and open. The model can be coupled with the US model SCIPUFF to replace the open regime and extend the model's prediction range.
