characterized by the number of carbon atoms in the fuel molecule, here called the fuel carbon index. Table 6.2: Fuel Dependent Coefficients for Metghalchi and Keck Laminar Burning Velocity Correlation lists the coefficients for methane, propane and iso-octane (gasoline), respectively.

For fuels with other carbon indices the coefficients are obtained by linear interpolation of the provided values. Fit range, preheat dependency and pressure dependency are modeled independent of the fuel (Table 6.3: Common Coefficients for Metghalchi and Keck Laminar Burning Velocity Correlation).
