The chemical kinetics of propyl methyl ether (PME), a proposed biofuel, has been studied behind reflected shock waves near 10 atm over a temperature range of 1200 - 1525 K/ Mixtures consisting of 0.1% PME/ 0.6% oxygen and 0.5% PME were used to investigate pressure and CO time-histories during OME oxidation and pyrolysis in argon, respectively. Carbon monoxide mole fractions were measured behind reflected shock waves with a continuous quantum cascade laser centered at 2046.30 wavenumbers using fixed-wavelength direct absorption spectroscopy.
