TL;DR: Soot formation in argon-diluted mixtures of acetylene, allene, and 1,3-butadiene was studied behind reflected shock waves by monitoring attenuation of a laser beam in both the visible (632.8 nm) and the infrared (3.39 μm) regions of the spectrum as discussed by the authors.

Abstract: This paper is intended to set forth aerodynamic and thermodynamic calculations which are useful in the production of strong shock waves. The experimental production of strong shock waves is discussed. Comparison of the experimental shock strengths with the theoretical calculations is made, and finally, some preliminary results of shock tube studies in high temperature gases (up to 18,000°K) are briefly surveyed.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of shock tube experiments was conducted to measure the ignition delay of homogeneous methane/air (CH 4 /air) mixtures at moderate temperatures (1000 to 1350 K) and elevated pressures (16-40 atm).

TL;DR: In this article, a chemical kinetic model for the oxidation of acetylene is presented, which is used to calculate flame speeds for adiabatic, freely propagating flames, composition profiles for lean and moderately rich burner-stabilized flames, and induction times and exponential growth constants for shock induced ignition.
Abstract: A chemical kinetic model for the oxidation of acetylene is presented. The model is usedto calculate flame speeds for adiabatic, freely propagating flames, composition profiles for lean and moderately rich burner-stabilized flames, and induction times and exponential growth constants for shock induced ignition. These results are then compared to the corresponding experimental results currently available. Rate coefficient information is derived predominantly from reaction-specific experiments. Since the comparisons made here are generally favorable, the kinetic model is consistent with a very large body of experimental, and in some cases theoretical, information. Important aspects of the reaction mechanism are discussed.
