Laser Spectroscopy of Combustion Intermediates in a Supersonic Jet Expansion

Abstract

A detailed analysis of the laser-induced fluorescence spectra of jet-cooled alkoxy, alkylthio and aromatic radicals has helped to characterize these radicals spectroscopically. All three groups of radicals are involved in the chemistry of organic fuel combustion. A clearer knowledge about the spectroscopy of these chemical intermediates is necessary for improved understanding of the free-radical controlled reaction steps occurring in combustion processes.
