The Combustion of<i>n</i>-pentane in a Shock Tube

Abstract

Abstract The slow combustion of n-pentane has been studied in a single pulse chemical shock tube. The yields of oxygenated products are similar in many respects to those found in static systems, and as the reactions in a shock tube are entirely homogeneous, these products, including ketones, are formed in the gas phase and not by reactions at the wall.
