β¦ Synopsis
In this study a ring dye laser spectrometer was employed for in-situ measurements of CH concentrations in the reaction zone behind shock waves. The time dependent absorption in the &-branch of the A2A -X2n band of CH at 431.1311 nm caused by the formation and consumption of CH radicals during the shock induced pyrolysis of a few ppm methane in argon was recorded. The CH concentration could directly be calculated from the measured absorption by applying the Lambert-Beer law. By adding a few percent CO to the initial mixtures, the CH concentration profiles were significantly perturbed. Both the perturbed and unperturbed CH concentration profiles have been compared with those calculated from reaction kinetic simulations. A reaction mechanism describing the CH concentration history in the CH4/Ar and CH,/CO/Ar systems between 2900 K and 3500 K was developed. By a fitting procedure, a value of k l = 1.85 x 10" cm3 mol-' s-I was obtained for the most important perturbation reaction CH + CO+C,O + H.

## Abstract The reaction between methyl and hydroxyl radicals has been studied in reflected shock wave experiments using narrowβlinewidth OH laser absorption. OH radicals were generated by the rapid thermal decomposition of tertβbutyl hydroperoxide. Two different species were used as CH~3~ radical
The in6uence of the composition of a carburizing CH 4 +H 2 gas mixture on the process of reduction+carburization over WO 3 has been studied. Bulk tungsten carbide synthesis has been carried out from WO 3 in di4erent CH 4 +H 2 mixtures (CH 4 +H 2 β«Ψβ¬ 1/1+3/1; CH 4 +N 2 β«Ψβ¬ 1/1; pure CH 4 ) at atmosph
