The thermal isomerization of cy clopropane to propylene is a homogeneous unimolecular reaction at 490° C and at pressures down of 0·007 cm. The rate constant of the unimolecular reaction falls off by a factor of ten as the pressure in the reaction system is decreased from 8·4 to 0·007 cm. The results are compared with various theories of quasi-unimolecular reactions. The addition of a non-reacting gas to the system counteracts the falling off. The relative efficiencies of a number of gases for maintaining the unimolecular rate constant have been measured.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.
