Mixtures of ethylene oxide or cyclopropane with oxygen and argon were ignited with reflected shock waves In a shock tube. The temperature dependences of the ignition delay and the growth of light emitted during the induction period to explosion of C2H4O-O2 mixtures indicate that the rate-controlling reaction is that of formaldehyde oxidation. The temperature dependence of induction periods for C3H6-O2 mixtures suggests that a complicated but undetermined mechanism controls the delay to ignition.

The Cr* (a7S–y7P) chemiluminescence at 360 nm during the induction period of the C2H2–O2 reaction was studied behind reflected shock waves. When the reaction gas mixture containing 10 p.p.m. Cr(CO)6, 0.5% C2H2, 1.0% O2, and 98.5% Ar was shock heated to 1650 °K, the emission intensity of Cr* grew exponentially with a growth constant equal to the chain branching constant. This observation indicates that reaction(s) leading to Cr* chemiluminescence involve only one chain carrier during the induction period of the C2H2–O2 reaction. The mechanism of the chemical excitation of Cr is discussed.

Mixtures of C2H4 with 02 or N3O and argon have been ignited with reflected shocks. The temperature dependence of the induction period to explosion suggests that the rate-controlling reaction for the C2H4-02 system is CH2O + O2 + CHO +HO2. Results for the C2H4-N2O system do not identify one particular reaction as being rate-controlling. A combination of reactions is probably involved. Possibilities include the pyrolysis of ethylene and of ethylene oxide and the reaction CH2+N2O → CH+OH+N2.
