Kiefer, J H

Progress during the period has been in five areas: completion of a rigorous physical optics study of laser-schlieren measurements, completion of a study showing that angled laser beam refraction by the shock front can give accurate values for total density change, continuation of a study of the induction time for CO/sub 2/ dissociation, improvements in equipment, and near completion of an extensive study of propane pyrolysis. The propane pyrolysis study has provided rates for the primary step C/sub 3/H/sub 8/ ..-->.. CH/sub 3/ + C/sub 2/H/sub 5/ over the range 1400 to 2400/sup 0/K.
