Outline of Final Research Achievements

The initial steps for the alcohol combustion were investigated from both experimental and theoretical approach. In the case of the reaction of beta-hydroxyethyl radical with molecular oxygen, the stabilization path for the peroxy radicals and the OH dissociation path were suggested to be compete at low pressure and temperature conditions. For the reaction of hydroxymethyl radical with molecular oxygen, quasi-classical trajectory calculation and RRKM calculation was performed. Although non-statistical trajectories were observed, the contribution for the thermal rate coefficients were confirmed to be negligible, thus the rate coefficient prediction based on the RRKM theory should be valid for these type of reactions.
