The diesel engine exhaust is an important source of air pollutants, which comprises a complex matrix of regulated and unregulated pollutants. The nitrogen oxides (NOx) and the particulate material are examples of regulated pollutants found in the engine exhaust. The unregulated pollutants are poorly studied until today, being the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and its nitrated derivatives (nitro-PAH) a class of unregulated pollutant observed in diesel exhaust. The nitro-PAHs are observed in gas phase or aggregated to the particulate material. At the present, the interest in those compounds raised due to their carcinogenic and mutagenic properties, which the population of urban centers are subject. The environmental impact caused by nitro-PAH is not fully established. This study consists in the modeling and simulation of the hydrocarbons combustion process comprising the C1 to C4 hydrocarbons using kinetic models proposed in the literature as reference models and the Kintecus software. The purpose of the present study is to describe the formation of aromatic compounds, mainly PAH, and nitrogen oxides. The long term goal is to build a combustion model to Diesel oil. The kinetic model was constructed based on known combustion models of C1 to C4 hydrocarbons, which includes the formation of aromatics, PAH and nitrogen oxides. The original models were evaluated and modified to analyze how the model parameters affects the species concentration. There is a trend to the formation of benzene and fulvene at low temperatures, and a tendency to formation of antracene, pyrene and antracene at high temperatures. The NO-NO2 conversion was evaluated and the high rates of conversion was obtained in simulations started at temperature. The results indicates that propene is the major hydrocarbon that promotes the NO-NO2 conversion. The final model proposed is based in the combination of Marinov and Hori models with the inclusion of GRI-Mech 3.0 plus additional reactions extracted from NIST database
