Notes:
The rate of CH4 disappearance in a shock-heated CH4:D2:Ar = 9.70:9.86:80.44 mixture was monitored by coincidence absorption of the 2948 cm-1 He-Ne laser line over the shockfront temperature range of 1900-2300K. Comparison with CH4 pyrolysis results by means of computer simulations suggested that atom and free radical chains are responsible for the homogeneous D/H exchange reaction on CH4.Additional simulations for the experimental conditions of previous single-pulse shock tube experiments led to the recognition of a high sensitivity of the exchange rate to trace amounts of hydrocarbon impurity and to the dissociation rate of CH4.
