CANTERA Reduced Chemical Mechanism for Dimethyl Ether Combustion

Abstract

The file contains a reduce chemical mechanism for Dimethyl ether-air combustion. It is a reduced mechanism containing 31 species and 82 reactions, converted from the CHEMKIN input file of Pan et al. [1]. The mechanism is derived from the detailed Dymethyl ether-air chemistry of Burke et al. [2].

## Format ## The .cti file is a plain text file in the Cantera Thermodynamic Input format for use with the open-source Cantera chemical kinetics tools, see https://cantera.org .
