The six-phase Lee Model Code is used to fit the computed current waveform to the measured waveform of the INTI Plasma Focus (PF;2.2 kJ at 12 kV), a T2 PF device, operated as a source of Neon soft X-ray (SXR) with optimum yield around 2.5 - 3 Torr of neon. The characteristic He-like and H-like neon line SXR pulse is measured using a pair of SXR detectors with selected filters that, by subtraction, have a photon energy window of 900 to 1550 eV covering the region of the characteristic neon SXR lines. The aim of this paper is to investigate the correlation between the time histories of the measured Neon soft X-ray pulse and the reflected shock phase of the computed current waveform which has been fitted to the measured current waveform. Results shows that the characteristic neon SXR measured at 3.17 J with a pulse duration of 249 ns starts typically after the radial inward shock phase and increases in magnitude few ns before the pinch phase. It tails unto the first anomalous resistance, and decays at the second anomalous resistance.

AbstractShock-tube experiments have been performed to investigate the thermal decomposition of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4, Si4O4C8H24) and hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D3, Si3O3C6H18) behind reflected shock waves by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and high-repetition-rate time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HRR-TOF-MS) in a temperature range of 1160–1600 K and a pressure range of 1.3–2.6 bar. The main observed stable products were methane (CH4), ethylene (C2H4), ethane (C2H6), acetylene (C2H2) and in the case of D4 pyrolysis, also D3 was measured as a product in high concentration. A kinetics sub-mechanism accounting for the D4 and D3 gas-phase chemistry was devised, which consists of 19 reactions and 15 Si-containing species. The D4/D3 submechanism was combined with the AramcoMech 2.0 (Li et al., Proc. Combust. Inst. 2017, 36, 403–411) to describe hydrocarbon chemistry. The unimolecular rate coefficients for D4 and D3 decomposition are represented by the Arrhenius expressions ktotal/D4(T) = 2.87 × 1013 exp(−273.2 kJ mol−1/RT) s−1 and ktotal/D3(T) = 9.19 × 1014 exp(−332.0 kJ mol−1/RT) s−1, respectively.

Analytical Results

This paper analyses effects of chemical reactions on reflected-shock flow fields in shock tubes. The method of linearized characteristics is applied to analyse gasdynamic disturbances due to chemical reactions. The analysis treats cases where combustible gas is highly diluted in inert gas, and assumes that flows are one-dimensional and that upstream flows in front of the reflected-shock waves are in the frozen state. The perturbed gasdynamic properties in the reflected-shock flow fields are shown to be expressible mainly in terms of a heat-release function for combustion process. In particular, simple relations are obtained between the heat-release function and the physical properties at the end wall of a shock tube. As numerical examples of the analysis, the present formulation is applied to calculate gasdynamic properties in the reflected-shock region in a H2–O2–Ar mixture. Procedures are demonstrated for calculation of the heat-release function by numerically integrating rate equations for chemical species. The analytical results are compared with rigorous solutions obtained numerically by use of a finite-difference method. It is shown that the formulation can afford exact solutions in cases where chemical behaviours are not essentially affected by gasdynamic behaviours. When the induction time of the combustion process is reduced to some extent owing to gasdynamic disturbances, some discrepancies appear between analytical results and rigorous solutions. An estimate is made of the induction-time reduction, and a condition is written down for applicability of the analysis.
