Notes:
When B5H9 is injected into a stream of He that is carrying O(3P) atoms (approximately 100/1), at a total pressure of 5–15 Torr, a blue-green flame develops. The major chemiluminescent species is BO(A 2Π). While its translational and rotational temperatures are ≈350 K, the vibrational temperature in the A state is high, ≈3800 K. From among the many products of this reaction, the OH radical can be most easily quantitated by measuring the intensity of its laser-induced fluorescence. The central streamline from a flow-tube reactor was extracted into an evacuated plenum via a pinhole. The time-intensity profile was calibrated using C2H6 for the fuel. Check runs were made with B2H6. A multistep mechanism was developed for B5H9+O(3P) that simulates the shape as well as the magnitude of the OH concentration over a reactor residence time 0.5–10 ms. Less than a dozen crucial reactions were identified by means of an extended sensitivity analysis. Breakdown schemes for the oxidation of B2H6 and B5H9 have been developed.
