Pyrolysis of 3-carene: Experiment, Theory and Modeling
N Sharath H K Chakravarty K P J Reddy P K Barhai E Arunan
Thermal decomposition studies of 3-carene, a bio-fuel, have been carried out behind the reflected shock wave in a single pulse shock tube for temperature ranging from 920 K to 1220 K. The observed products in thermal decomposition of 3-carene are acetylene, allene, butadiene, isoprene, cyclopentadiene, hexatriene, benzene, toluene and p-xylene. The overall rate constant for 3-carene decomposition was found to be $$\text{k/s}^{−1} = 10^{(9.95±0.54)} \text{exp}(−40.88 ± 2.71 \text{kcal mol}^{−1}/\text{RT}).$$
