Kinetic measurements on elementary fossil fuel combustion reactions over wide temperature ranges. Progress report, May 1, 1984-November 30, 1984
Most bimolecular elementary combustion reactions, when observed over wide temperature ranges, show non-Arrhenius behavior. This makes extrapolation from low temperature rate coefficient data uncertain. Currently available reliable data have commonly been obtained near room temperature. A larger high temperature data base is needed to improve understanding of the change in rate coefficients with temperature and to provide meaningful input data and predictions for combustion modellers. In the current work the kinetics of isolated elementary fossil fuel combustion reactions are investigated. Experiments are performed in the HTP (high-temperature photochemistry) reactor, suitable for measurements over the 300 to 1800/sup 0/K range. Emphasis is placed on data above 1000/sup 0/K. The current object of study is the O + C/sub 2/H/sub 4/ reaction. 14 references. 1 figure.
