The pyrolysis of JP-10 was studied in a single-pulse shock tube over the temperature range from 1150K to 1350K.The pyrolysis products were analyzed by gas chromatography.The main products contain ethylene,propylene,n-butene,butadiene,cyclopentadiene,cyclopentene,benzene,toluene,and a small amount of methane,ethane,xylene and 1-methylcyclopentene.Comparative rate measurements were used in this work to eliminate the effects of non-ideality and boundary layer behind shock waves.The pyrolysis of JP-10 was modeled using the San Diego mechanism.The kinetic modeling could reproduce almost the experimental results of yield variation with temperature of three main products,ethylene,acetylene and butadiene.
