REACTIONS OF THE CH RADICAL, AN IMPORTANT HYDROCARBON COMBUSTION INTERMEDIATE
Publisher:
Ohio State UniversityAbstract:
The CH radical is one the most important intermediates in hydrocarbon combustion systems. It has been observed in various hydrocarbon flames and atomic oxygen reactions because of its strong $A^{2}\Delta \rightarrow X^{2}\Pi$ emission at 430 nm. In this work we have employed the vacuum UV multiphoton dissociation method to generate the CH radical and the laser-induced fluorescence technique to detect its disappearance rates in a number of reactions involving $N_{2}, O_{2}, CO, CO_{2}, CH_{4}, C_{2} H_{6}, C_{2}H_{2}, C_{2}H_{4}, C_{6}H_{6}$, etc. The implication of this work will be discussed.
