In this study, reaction rate constants are derived for H abstraction by H02 from the three distinct locations of H in ethylbenzene (primary, secondary and aromatic H, with H on the ortho carbon taken as an example of unreactive aromatic H) as well as for the addition of H at the four possible sites. Rate constants are provided in the simple Arrhenius form. The dominant channel at all temperatures is found to be H abstraction from the secondary C-H bonds of the ethyl chain, whereas abstractions from the primary C-H bonds also contribute significantly at higher temperatures. Reasonable agreement was obtained with the limited literature data. Addition at the four sites of the aromatic ring and abstraction of one of the C-H aromatic bonds are rather unimportant for all temperatures. The results presented herein should be useful in modeling the lower temperature oxidation of alkylbenzenes.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:55:59 AEST ]]> Performance characteristics of a novel integrated gasification chemical looping combustion for solid fuels https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15845 0.35) are preferred. However, the total efficiency decreases with increasing steam conversion. The negative effect on the efficiency can be offset by rising the temperature of AR. Furthermore, the optimum in the oxygen carrier circulation is found to be 40% excess stoichiometric value and higher than 95% is found to be unacceptable.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:15:12 AEST ]]> Predicting the heat of formation of chlorinated phenols and associated chlorine isotopologues https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13195 37Cl on the heat of formation of a series of polychlorinated phenols.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:19:32 AEST ]]> Physical, chemical and thermal changes in the transformation of coal to coke https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28689 Wed 03 Oct 2018 16:26:29 AEST ]]> Removal of NOₓ from oxyfuel derived CO₂ by reaction with water condensate formed during compression https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28693 Tue 16 Oct 2018 12:06:45 AEDT ]]> A dynamic study on the impacts of CO₂ on SO₂ absorption into sodium based aqueous solutions in oxy-fuel scrubber https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23255 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:17:00 AEDT ]]> Non-oxidative thermal decomposition of endosulfan https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23117 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:31 AEDT ]]> Magnitude of the deuterium kinetic isotope effect during the combustion of methane over a Pd/Al₂O₃ catalyst https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23115 (v) or D₂O(v) respectively, the rate of reaction decreases significantly in the presence of a high concentration of water vapour (ca 12,000 ppm) but the overall rate ratio, CH₄ / H₂O(v) vs CD₄ / D₂O(v) increases only slightly, to 3.2 ±0.6. This suggests that the effect of water vapour on the reaction rate is attributable to an equilibrium isotope effect (EIE) but under all reaction conditions studied at 270 °C, the rate limiting step involves methane activation.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:15:30 AEDT ]]> Non-oxidative thermal decomposition of endosulfan II.
