Chemical Reactions in Shock Waves.

Abstract

Experimental and computer modeling studies were carried out on chemical reactions at high temperatures, in particular on reactions which participate in combustion processes. Reaction initiation was by shock-wave heating, and reaction progress was monitored by spectroscopic methods. Systems studied include CS2-O2, CH4-O2, CH4-Ar, C2H2-Ar, C2H4-Ar, and C2H6-Ar. (Author)
