Premixed flat flames of acetylene-nitrous oxide were stabilized on a perforated, water cooled burner, 3 in. in diameter. A rich flame (C2H2: 27%, N20: 73%) was stabilized at 20 mm Hg and a lean flame (C2H2: 9%, N20:91%) at 45 mm Hg. Temperature profiles and concentration profiles of free radicals an

✦ Synopsis
The products of the electronically excited, metastable He* + C2H 2 diffusion flame reaction, using a dc discharge diffusion flame technique, are C2", CH*, H*, C*, and possibly C4H* or :C=CH 2 (vinylidene). The primary reactions observed in the flame are He* + C 2H 2 -"* C 2* + H* + H + He and He* + C 2 H 2 "* CH* + CH + He. This flame produces an extremely bright source of C 2 emission over the entire optical range. The translational and rotational temperatures in the flame are equal to each other with an average value of 1100 + 300K. Secondary reactions in the flame produce several dense bands in the red which are likely due to soot-forming precursor molecules.

An experimental investigation of the ignition of methane-acetylene--oxygen-argon mixtures was carried out behind reflected shock waves over the temperature range 1400-1900 K and reaction pressures between l and 4 bar. Pure methane, acetylene, and methane-acetylene mixtures (C2H2/CH 4 = 0. I-I) were
We present a theoretical study of the convergence of the C-H bond dissociation energy (Do) of acetylene with respect to both the one-and n-particle spaces. Our best estimate for Do of 130.1 f 1.0 kcal/mol is slightly below previous theoretical estimates, but substantially above the value determined
Temperature and composition profiles have been obtained through a series of fiat flames containing between 1.23 and 1.38 mol% C3H s, in which the ratio [02] : [Ar] was kept constant at 15 : 85. These profiles have been analysed in terms of the continuity equations for mass, energy, and individual sp
