Pyrolysis and Oxidation Kinetics of Anisole and Phenol

Abstract

This thesis recounts an investigation of the high-temperature chemistry of the phenoxy radical and its parent phenol through the acquisition of reaction intermediate data from experiments performed in a turbulent flow reactor. Anisole, a chemical source of phenoxy at high temperature, and phenol were employed as reactor fuels at reaction temperatures near 1000 and 1170 K, respectively. Oxidation experiments were performed at fuel lean, stoichiometric, and fuel rich conditions. Pyrolysis experiments were also undertaken to provide bench mark data for comparison with oxidation data.
