Shock tube and modeling study of ketene oxidation

Journal Article · · Combustion and Flame
Ketene (CH{sub 2}CO) and ketyl radicals (CHCO) are produced in acetylene combustion. Ketene oxidation was studied behind reflected shock waves in the temperature range 1,050--2,050 K at total pressures between 1.1 and 3.0 atm using ketene-O{sub 2} and ketene-N{sub 2}O mixtures diluted with Ar. Ketene decay and carbon dioxide production were followed using time-resolved UV-absorption at 200 nm and time-resolved IR-emission at 4.24 {micro}m, respectively. Production yields for reaction times between 1.7 and 2.1 ms were also studied using a single-pulse method. From a computer-simulation study with a 85-reaction mechanism, rate-constant expressions that could explain all the data were derived.
