This is the second Quarterly Technical Report in a research program to study soot formation in the combustion of aromatic hydrocarbons. Experiments will be carried out in a shock tube at 1300 to 2500/sup 0/K, using a variety of optical diagnostics to study the kinetic behavior of reactants, radical intermediates, and products. The data will be interpreted using a computer model of the kinetics and dynamics of the reacting system. In this report, the performance of the vacuum and data collection systems is described, and some initial shock wave measurements are presented.
