Computational results are presented supporting the suggestion that the primary process in fuel-rich acetylene combustion is reaction with OH to yield ketene, and that acetylene does not decay, primarily, through the methane family. The methodology for modeling higher hydrocarbon decay is discussed.

โฆ Synopsis
The combustion of CH 4 in fuel-rich, CH4102/Ar = 9/1190, mixtures was studied by infrared (IR) laser kinetic ab~rption spectroscopy behind incident shock waves with 1800 < T/K < 2700 at total densities of ~ I 2 x ! 0 -6 tool cm -a. Computer simulations usin$ a 63-reaction mechanism were used to identify Ihe elementary reactions that determined the data parameters and to investWate the consequences ot varzous rate-constant assumptions. An experimental data base from the literature v,'as al~ used to test the mechanism and rate constants over a wide variety of conditions of temperature, pressure, and equivalence ratio Rate-constant expressions are suggested for CH 2 + CH 3 = C2H 4 + H and CH 3 + 02 = CH20 + OH

Benzene destruction was studied using a jet-stirred reactor burning premixed C2H2, C6H6, H2, 02, N 2 mixtures at 1 atm, 1630 K, a fuel equivalence ratio of 2.2, a C/H ratio of 0.5, and residence times of 5-6 ms. Stable species concentrations were measured by water-cooled probe sampling and gas chrom
It is shown that stable combustion can be maintained in spouted beds at fuel concentrations greatly in excess of the rich limit of flammability. This makes it possible to minimize the fraction of fuel used for heat release in any hightemperature partial oxidation, pyrolysis, or other reaction in whi
In a previous paper [Combust. Flame 57 (1984)] Fakheri and Buckius described an analytical model for the temperature, concentration, and velocity distributions produced during catalytic combustion over a flat catalytic plate. Here, the predictions of that model are compared to measurements of the st
