β¦ Synopsis
The high-temperature decomposition of propylene has been investigated in a single-pulse shock tube in the temperature range 1160-1700 K. The stable products observed were hydrogen, methane, ethylene, acetylene, ethane, allene and propyne. The rate of evolution of the different products was found to have a similar concentration-dependence except for ethane, which was found to be dependent only on the third-body concentration. A computer model of the kinetics is presented, according to which the first step of the propylene decomposition has a rate constant (calorie units) of: k,[Ar] (mol/cm3s) = (10t3+u.5) exp [(-74 f 1) X 103/RT]
