Methane, decomposition calculated rates

Several other methods have been employed to access the conditions of bubble collapse. Misik et al. studied H20—D20 mixtures and through measurements with the use of spin traps, were able to determine the temperature from the relative rates of O—H and O—D cleavage [21]. They reported temperatures ranging from 2,000 to 4,000 K. Hart et al. developed a method based on the gas phase recombination of methyl radicals (MRR method), formed from the decomposition of methane [22]. They calculated temperatures of 2,000-2,800 K depending on the methane concentration. 

This ester resembles its methyl homologue in possessing three modes of decomposition [131]. It also supports a self-decomposition flame, the multiple reaction zones of which are clearly separated at low pressures [122, 123, 125]. Temperature and composition profiles in the low-pressure decomposition flame have been measured [133]. The products include formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and ethanol with smaller amounts of methane and nitromethane. The activation energy derived from the variation of flame speed with final flame temperature was 38 kcal. mole", close to the dissociation energy of the RO—NO2 bond. The controlling reaction is believed to be unimolecular in its low pressure regime, and the rate coefficient calculated from the heat-release profile is... 

The results shown in Figure 20 depict the investigation of the reactions between CO, CO2, H2O and H2 in the presence of the active metallic cobalt under conditions of COD decomposition. The metallic cobalt obtained by the decomposition of COD in hydrogen was heated at a rate of 10 K min in an atmosphere of CO2 and H2 mixed in the ratio 1 2 (Figure 20A). In transient experiments (Figure 20B), the pulses of CO2 were injected into a system in which COmet was heated in an atmosphere of 20 vol% H2, balance He. The first experiment confirmed that, imder die applied conditions, the formation of methane begins at about 190 C. The maximum yield of CH4, calculated from the results of PulseTA experiments shown in Figure 20B, was observed at about 400 C. 

Previous work has shown that propylene, in excess ethane, decomposes much faster than does neat propylene (2). As a first approximation, the specific rate of propylene disappearance in excess ethane can be taken as twice the specific rate of ethane disappearance. If the average value for propylene concentration is taken as half the final value, then the total propylene formed during the reaction can be calculated by dividing the propylene recovered by the fraction ethane undecomposed. This corrected value for propylene should be approximately equal to the secondary methane for as high as 15% decomposition of ethane. It has been used for this purpose, and within this range, with the present data. 

An attempt was made to calculate the product distributions of propane pyrolysis on the basis of the reaction model considering both inhibition and acceleration effects observed in the pyrolysis of propane-propylene mixtures. The reaction model for propane pyrolysis used in this work is shown in Table 4. The rate constants given in Table 4 were measured in our previous works (3, 4). At the initial stage of propane pyrolysis, the formation of the primary products such as methane, ethylene and propylene is predominant but as the reaction proceeds, the consecutive decomposition of each product is also remarkable. Therefore, a reaction model was postulated which consisted of major stoichiometric reactions for propane (i) - (iv), for propylene (v), (vi) and...
