Abstract
The net production and destruction rates for acetylene, diacetylene, butadiene, and benzene have been determined from measurements of species concentration, temperature, and velocity in a methane/air diffusion flame. In addition, profile measurements of the methyl radical are used to compute profiles of hydrogen atoms. These results provide an initial evaluation of proposed models of hydrocarbon chemical growth routes in diffusion flames, and indicate that the vinyl radical plays a key role in the formation of benzene. Evidence is also presented for acetylene participation in surface growth processes on small soot particles.Proceedings Title
