Popis: Microprobe mass-spectrometric sampling is used to measure major species in a stagnation-point flow over a heated La0.267Sr0.333Mn0.4Al11O18 hexaaluminate catalyst surface. The temperature of the catalytic surface is controlled, and the flow is composed of high-purity methane and air. A chemically-reacting flow model with a global surface-reaction mechanism and GRI-Mech 3.0 gas-phase chemistry is developed and used to assist interpretation of the experimental data. Comparison of experimental data with numerical models that include both surface and gas-phase chemistry suggests that the catalyst surface tends to quench gas-phase combustion by removing methyl radicals. Over a range of conditions, surface temperature (680°C ≤ Ts ≤ 1110°C), and equivalence ratio (0.2 ≤ φ ≤ 0.4), the numerical model is able to achieve good agreement with the measurements.
