SOME EXPERIMENTAL TECHNIQUES USED IN CARBON REACTION STUDIES.
Abstract
Temperature, weight and size measurements of reacting carbon spheres can be made simultaneously in an electrically heated furnace. Combining these measurements with gas sampling, surface area, and density profile determinations, the progress and process of heterogeneous solid-gas and of subsequent gas phase reactions can be established. Measurements of atmospheric conditions gave results revealing the true order of chemical reaction of carbon with oxygen, allowed the determination of the depth of penetration of the reaction zone into carbon, established the presence of an oscillatory combustion phenomena, etc. Problem areas to be encountered by the experimenter with the above techniques are pointed out.
