A jet-stirred reactor for kinetic studies of homogeneous gas-phase reactions at pressures up to ten atmospheres (≈1 MPa)

Abstract

An homogeneous stirred reactor designed for kinetic studies of hydrocarbon oxidation in the intermediate temperature range is described. The originality of this reactor lies in its ability to operate under pressure up to 10 atm ( approximately 1 MPa). The design of the injectors makes it possible to move a thermocouple and a sampling probe throughout a whole diameter of the reactor.
