Experimental time-average conversions and selectivities for reactions of 3-methylpentane and 2-methylpentane have been measured on USHY at 400[degrees]C to provide additional confirmation of the proposal that initiation of the cracking of saturated compounds takes place via the protolysis of a feed molecule and is always followed by some degree of conversion via a bimolecular, carbenium-ion-induced chain process. 11 refs., 4 tabs.
