TL;DR: In this article, a detailed theoretical and experimental study of the approach of high-temperature argon to this equilibrium degree of ionization is presented. But no reasonable explanation has been found for the unusual effectiveness of impurities in ionizing argon.
232 citations
TL;DR: In this article, a review of laser absorption and shock tube methodologies for studies of combustion chemistry is presented, along with a brief discussion of newly emerging laser-diagnostic techniques and a summary of future research directions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism involving 26 chemical species and 84 elementary reactions was proposed for the oxidation of methanol within the scope of this mechanism, turbulent flow reactor and shock tube experimental data were used to determine rate expressions for several of the important reactions involving CH3OH and its intermediate product species, CH2OH Calculations using the proposed mechanism and elementary reaction rates accurately reproduce experimental results over a combined temperature range of 1000-2180K, for fuel-air equivalence ratios between 005 and 30 and for pressures between 1 and 5 atmospheres.
Abstract: A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism, involving 26 chemical species and 84 elementary reactions, is proposed for the oxidation of methanol Within the scope of this mechanism, turbulent flow reactor and shock tube experimental data are used to determine rate expressions for several of the important reactions involving CH3OH and its intermediate product species, CH2OH Calculations using the proposed mechanism and elementary reaction rates accurately reproduce experimental results over a combined temperature range of 1000-2180K, for fuel-air equivalence ratios between 005 and 30 and for pressures between 1 and 5 atmospheres The resulting chemical kinetic model is then employed, together with an unsteady, one-dimensional numerical model for flame propagation, to predict the laminar flame speed of a stoichiometric methanol-air mixture The calculated laminar flame speed is 44+ 2 cm/ sec and is in good agreement with experimentally observed values

TL;DR: In this paper, the first gas-phase shock tube ignition delay time data for JP-8 and JP-A were reported, and their results have very low scatter and are in excellent agreement with the limited previous shock tube data for Jet-A. The new experimental results were compared with predictions of several kinetic mechanisms, using different jet fuel surrogate mixtures.
