title: Study on combustion of gasoline/MTBE in laminar flame with synchrotron radiation.
abstract: Synchrotron radiation offers important advantages with the use of tunable vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) lasers for molecular beam sampling mass spectrometry (MBMS). These advantages include superior signal-to-noise, soft ionization, and access to photon energies outside the limited tuning ranges of current VUV laser sources. Combining MBMS with tunable synchrotron radiation photoionization, two similar types of fuels, gasoline/oxygen and gasoline/MTBE/oxygen in low-pressure premixed laminar flame were investigated. Photoionization efficiency (PIE) measurements were used to identify the intermediates isomers within flame. The two combustion processes are discussed by comparing the intermediates and their spatial profiles within the two kinds of flame mentioned above.
