Notes:
    The reference gives parameters in a unit system of cm-sec-mole-kcal-Kelvin,
    whilst OpenFOAM uses m-sec-kmol-J-Kelvin, both the pre-exponential factors
    and the activation temperature/energy require unit conversion.

    The mechanism used is set 3 from table 2. This should be the most accurate
    single-step methane mechanism without any negative exponents. Set 2 is not
    usable because the negative exponent on the methane concentration causes
    divergence in regions without any fuel.
