Kinetic Models

Our group has achieved remarkable results in the field of reaction kinetics mechanism and constructed a series of detailed mechanism models applicable to various engines. The research covers a wide range of applications from conventional aviation kerosene to bioaviation kerosene, and from solid propellants to liquid propellants. An overview of some of our key achievements is as follows.
