Temperature and species concentration profiles were obtained for atmospheric-pressure, premixed, laminar, flat flames of trans-C{sub 2}H{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}/CH{sub 4} mixtures under fuel-rich conditions at several Cl/H ratios. Samples were withdrawn from within the flames using a heated micro-probe followed by gas analysis via on-line capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Mole fraction profiles were determined for the reactants and for CO, CO{sub 2}, HCl, H{sub 2}O, H{sub 2}, CH{sub 3} Cl, CH{sub 2}Cl{sub 2}, CHCl{sub 3}, CCl{sub 4}, C{sub 2}HCl, C{sub 2}H{sub 3}Cl, C{sub 3}H{sub 5}Cl, C{sub 2}H{sub 2}, C{sub 2}H{sub 4}, C{sub 2}H{sub 6}, C{sub 4}H{sub 4}, C{sub 4}H{sub 2}, C{sub 6}H{sub 6}, and C{sub 10}H{sub 8}. The role of these species, in view of the current understanding of the mechanism of combustion of trans-C{sub 2}H{sub 2}Cl{sub 2} and CH{sub 4}, are discussed.
