Abstract

Allyl and propargyl radicals are involved in the production of the first aromatic ring, which is considered a crucial process in forming polycyclic-aromatic hydrocarbons and soot. 1-Butyne decomposes to propargyl radicals during its pyrolysis and oxidation. To improve our knowledge of the kinetics of 1-butyne, its pyrolysis, oxidation, and laminar flame speed properties have been measured. Pyrolysis experiments were performed in a single-pulse shock tube at 2 bar in the temperature range 1000 – 1600 K. Ignition delay times for 1-butyne/‘air’ mixtures were measured at pressures of 1, 10, 30, and 50 bar, in the temperature range 680 – 1580 K, at equivalence ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 using rapid compression machines and shock tubes. Furthermore, laminar flame speeds were measured at ambient temperature, at p = 1, 2, 3 atm, over an equivalence ratio range of 0.6 – 1.9. A new detailed mechanism for 1-butyne has been developed and widely validated using the new experimental data and those available in the literature. Important reactions of 1-butyne pyrolysis and oxidation are determined through flux and sensitivity analyses.
