The experimental ignition delay values of methane-oxygen-argon-nitrogen dioxide mixtures published recently are confirmed and explained with the help of calculated ignition delay data. Calculation was done using a computer program with 38 reactions whose values were taken from the literature. Only two of these reactions were iteratively fitted and their rates were found to be 2.4 x 10/sup 11/ cc/mole sec for CH/sub 3/ + NO/sub 2/ ..-->.. NO + CH/sub 3/O and 1.0 x 10/sup 11/ cc/mole sec for the CH/sub 3/O + O/sub 2/ ..-->.. CH/sub 2/O + HO/sub 2/ reaction.
