Abstract

The pyrolysis of t-butyl alcohol was studied in shock waves in the temperature range 1220-1620 K. The rate constants for the molecular and free radical formation channels were obtained with the help of kinetic modeling of H₂O and CO concentration profiles. The rate constants for the runs above 1500 K were corrected for the pressure fall-off effect using the RRKM theory. The Arrhenius expressions for the molecular and radical decomposition channels

covering the broad temperature range 920-1630 K.
