Popis: A comprehensive kinetic/thermochemical model for the high-temperature radical chain decomposition of acetylene and the polyacetylenes is presented. This mechanism is tested against new shock tube data: time-of-flight mass spectra in C4H2/H2, mixtures over 1600-2100K and laser schlieren experiments in C2H2; covering 2700-3500 K. Some earlier time-of-flight measurements on C2H2, are also modeled. The paper includes a very extensive consideration of species thermochemistry, and the model is in full accord with the current consensus, having Δƒ H0(C2H) = 135·5kcal/mol. Entropies are computed from recent determinations of molecular parameters for C,H and from new high-level ab initio calculations for C4H reported here.Thetime-of-flight measurementssupport Δƒ H0(C2H2)= 111 kcal/mol or 28·24kcal/mol for the [C,-(C1)] group. Rate constants for the key C-H fission reactions of the acetylenes are taken from RRKM calculations calibrated against the direct measurements of dissociation in C2;H2, and C4H2:. Alt...
