Partial oxidation of methane by nitrous oxide

Partial oxidation of methane by nitrous oxide has been studied behind reflected shock waves in a single-pulse shock tube over the temperature range of 1,400-1,940 K, at a pressure of 15 atm, and with uniform gas residence time of 0.4 ms. Mixtures of N{sub 2}O and CH{sub 4}, each of mole fraction 0.0...

Description
Summary:Partial oxidation of methane by nitrous oxide has been studied behind reflected shock waves in a single-pulse shock tube over the temperature range of 1,400-1,940 K, at a pressure of 15 atm, and with uniform gas residence time of 0.4 ms. Mixtures of N{sub 2}O and CH{sub 4}, each of mole fraction 0.01 in Ar, commenced decomposition at temperatures above 1,400 K. Ethane and ethylene are the principal carbon-containing products of partial oxidation below 1,580 K.
