This study investigates the destruction chemistry of organosulfur compounds under both pyrolytic and oxidative conditions. We focus on the destruction of alkyl sulfides that are surrogates for chemical warfare agents H, HD, and HT. We report our work on developing thermochemistry, reaction pathways and kinetic parameters for multiple chemical subsystems, using computational chemistry methods. We also report our experimental results from flow reactor experiments for pyrolysis and oxidation of two ...
Report developed under an STTR contract. The overall goal of this STTR project has been to improve the realism of chemical kinetics in computational fluid dynamics modeling of hydrocarbon-fueled scramjet combustors. A new, pressure-dependent detailed chemical kinetic model for a JP-8 surrogate has been created. Extinction strain rate measurements have been performed with an opposed-jet burner at subatmospheric conditions for a variety of fuels, namely: methane, ethylene, n-heptane, Jet A, ...
