Shock tube/laser absorption measurements of the pyrolysis of butyl acetate isomers

摘要

Isomer specific pyrolysis experiments have been carried out for butyl acetate compound in a shock tube using laser absorption technique. Four isomers are investigated: n-butyl acetate, isobutyl acetate, tert-butyl acetate and sec-butyl acetate. During their pyrolysis, carbon monoxide (CO) time-histories are obtained behind reflected Shockwaves over the temperature range of 1296-1756 K and pressures of 1.2-1.5 atm with 0.5% fuel in argon bath.
