Book excerpt: The dissertation discusses the details of the four following items: 1) design, assembly, and testing of a shock tube setup as well as a laser diagnostics apparatus for studying ignition characteristics of fuels and associated reaction rates, 2) measurements of methane and propanal infrared spectra at room and high temperatures using a Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) and a shock tube , 3) measurements of ignition delay times and reaction rates during propanal thermal decomposition and ignition, and 4) investigation of ignition characteristics of methane during its combustion in carbon-dioxide diluted bath gas. The main benefit and application of this work is the experimental data which can be used in future studies to constrain reaction mechanism development.
