Experimental data on incomplete oxidation of methane in 
air are analyzed for the stoichiometric relation = 4 using 
a numerical model; the data are obtained with different charges and 
for different flow rates of feed of a mixture. In order to explain 
the experimental data, it is proposed that a heterogeneous reaction 
that ensures the beginning of the processes of oxidation of methane 
at lower temperatures be introduced into the chemical model.
