✦ Synopsis

The slow combustion of methane and ethylene has been studied under static conditions in a quartz reactor using the following mixtures: CH4: 0, = 1: 2 and C&: 0, = 1: 1. By measuring the consumption of tbe reagents and the accumulation of radicals, the relation between the rate of the hydrocarbon consumption and the concentrations of free radicals and hydrocarbons has been determined. It has been shown that during the oxidation of methane (at 455Β°C) two peroxy radicals RO, interact, while in the case of ethylene (at 415Β°C) the peroxy radicals interact with ethylene; in both cases the peroxy radicals am transformed to more active RO radicals, which ensure chain development and lead to the formation of the end products. The rate constants of the interaction of peroxy radicals during methane oxidation (K2 = 1.02 X lo-** cm3 molecule-* set-1) and of peroxy radicals with ethylene during oxidation of the latter when ethylene oxide is formed (KS = 0.94 X IO-16 cm3 molecule-t see-t) has been estimated. The activation energy of the reaction with ethylene has been also estimated and found to be equal to 13,760 k 800 Cal/mole.

When a fuel gas flows in the direction of a magnetic field of decreasing strength, a combustion reaction is found to be activated. The relationship between the direction of a fuel-gas flow and the steepest gradient of the magnetic field was observed to determine how the reaction was promoted. This

Calculations were carried out on several data sets to study the mechanism of hydrogen abstraction from phenols by peroxy radicals: (1) Rate constants, k values, were collected for the reactions of cumyl-, l-phenylethyland tert-butyl-peroxy radicals with ortho-para-substituted phenol inhibitors. Th
