Zeldovich–Liñán model

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In combustion, Zel'dovich–Liñán model is a two-step reaction model for the combustion processes, named after Yakov Borisovich Zel'dovich and Amable Liñán. The model includes a chain-branching and a chain-breaking (or radical recombination) reaction. The model was first introduced by Zel'dovich in 1948[1] and later analysed by Liñán using activation energy asymptotics in 1971.[2] The mechanism reads as

where is the fuel, is an intermediate radical, is the third body and is the product. The first reaction is the chain-branching reaction, which is considered to be auto-catalytic (consumes no heat or releases no heat), with very large activation energy and the second reaction is the chain-breaking (or radical-recombination) reaction, where all of the heat in the combustion is released, with almost negligible activation energy.[3][4][5]
