ABSTRACT
Interest in production of contaminants in ames ranges from concern about pol-
know
ity problems. Engine signatures depend strongly on trace contaminants. It is
often easier to predict principal ame characteristics than to predict contaminant
levels because the contaminants depend on ne details of the chemical kinetics
of combustion. The work reported here is directed towards obtaining improved
useful methods for calculating concentrations of these species in combustion pro-
cesses.
