Kinetics of methyl iodide-iodine exchange in a shock tube

An upper limit for the methane-oxygen initation reaction in the presence of iodine-131 behind reflected shock waves

“…The increase in the shocked-sample The results of the methane-iodine experiments supported the reported mechanism of Flowers and Benson (69). The validity of the approximate solution to the rate equations for the formation of methyl iodide given by Equation [74] was confirmed by the absence of ethane and the low methyl iodide concentrations found in the shocked samples.…”

“…Since the specific activities of the organic and inorganic iodine products were equal, the mole fraction of the methyl iodide was readily determined from the known quantities, and Xj , as shown in Equation [73] "CH;! = 2*^2 frxn Hence, in terms of the region 5 gas-dynamic variables, Equations [64] and [72] may be rewritten as Equations [74] and [75], respectively. Tables 9 and 10 were obtained from the radio-iodine analytical technique.…”
