Abstract
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The laminar burning speed is an important intrinsic property of an air-fuel mixture determining key combustion characteristics such as turbulent flame propagation. It is a function of the mixture composition (mixture fraction and residual gas mass fraction) and of the thermodynamic conditions.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">Experimental measurements of Laminar Flame Speeds (LFS) are common in literature, but initial pressure and temperature are limited to low values due to the test conditions: typical pressure values for LFS detection are lower than 25 bar, and temperature rarely exceeds 550 K.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">Actual trends in spark ignition engines are to increase specific power output by downsizing and supercharging, thus the flame front involves even more higher pressure and temperature since the beginning of combustion. The most widespread models used to extrapolate the experimental data to the engine like conditions are derived from that of Metghalchi and Keck, but they often fail to correctly predict LFS values outside the experimental space.</div><div class="htmlview paragraph">Thanks to the development of accurate chemical kinetic models together with the increase of computer performance, it is possible to numerically predict the laminar flame speed over a wide range of conditions for a range of fuel mixtures, so to overcome some of the limitations of the Metghalchi and Keck model. The aim of the present work is to evaluate the effectiveness of an exploitable open source chemical solver (Cantera) for the evaluation of laminar flame speed. Results are compared against experimental data available in scientific literature and a review of the main analytical correlation for LFS is accomplished. Finally, a new correlation is proposed to better fit the numerical results in the high pressure and temperature range of the real engine design space.</div></div>

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
