The Combustion of Alternate Fuel Systems Shock Tube Studies of the Decomposition of Organic Molecules.

Abstract

This report summarizes a series of shock tube experiments. During this time period, a CO laser was calibrated for the purpose of monitoring CO formation rates during the decomposition of several organic molecules. The compounds investigated were formic acid (HCOOH), formaldehyde (HCHO), ketene (CH2CO), and cyclobutanone (C4H6O). The decomposition data are under analysis.
