PERCHLORIC ACID FLAMES. PART VII. MIXED FUEL-RICH FLAMES.
Abstract
Fuel-rich perchloric acid flames containing binary mixtures of hydrocarbons (methane-ethane, methane-ethylene and ethane-ethylene) as fuels were studied by sampling the burnt gas products for a range of mixtures of each pair of fuels. It was shown that there is selective consumption of one member of each fuel pair and that the order of increasing resistance to attack is ethane < ethylene < methane. Approximate ratios of the rate constants for the attack on the fuels are deduced and compared with the literature values for hydrogen, oxygen and chlorine atom and hydroxyl radical attack on the same hydrocarbons. It is concluded that the results provide additional support for a mechanism involving chlorine-oxygen species. (Author)
