A Single Pulse Shock Tube Study of Pyrolysis of Monomethylamine.

Abstract

The decomposition of monomethylamine (MMA) was studied to model the decomposition mechanism. The decomposition of a 2.5% mixture of MMA in argon was studied behind a reflected shock by use of a single pulse shock tube with gas chromatography of the products CH4, NH3, and unreacted MMA. The temperatures behind the reflected shock ranged from 727 /degrees K to 1438 degrees K. The reaction test time was 900 microsec. Total pressure ranged from 2.2 atm to 8.03 atm. The rate constants for the initiating C-N bond scissure were determined by a parametric study using a numerical model. The concentrations of CH4, NH3, and MMA were examined to determine the reasonableness of the model. (Author)
