Ab initio pressure-dependent reaction kinetics of methyl propanoate radicals.

Ab initio kinetics studies of hydrogen atom abstraction from methyl propanoate.

The kinetics of hydrogen abstraction by five radicals (H, CH3, O((3)P), OH, and HO2) from a biodiesel surrogate, methyl propanoate (MP), is theoretically investigated. We employ high-level ab initio quantum chemistry methods, coupled-cluster singles and doubles with perturbative triples correction (CCSD(T)) and multi-reference singles and doubles configuration interaction (MRSDCI) with the Davi...

Products of the Self-Reaction of HCO Radicals: Theoretical Kinetics Studies

The mechanism of the self-reaction of HCO radicals is investigated by using high-level quantum-chemical methods including M05-2X, CCSD, CCSD(T) and CRCC(2,3). Next, the rate coefficients for several product channels as a function of pressure and temperature are computed by employing statistical rate theories. Four important product channels are predicted to be CO + CO + H2, HCOH + OH, cis-(HCO)...

Ab Initio Theoretical Studies on the Kinetics of the Hydrogen Abstraction Reaction of Hydroxyl Radical with CH3CH2OCF2CHF2 (HFE-374pc2)

The hydrogen abstraction reaction of OH radical with CH3CH2OCF2CHF2 (HFE-374pc2) is investigated theoretically by semi-classical transition state theory. The stationary points on the potential energy surface of the reaction are located by using KMLYP density functional method along with 6-311++G(d,p) basis set. Vibrational anharmonicity coefficients, ...

Kinetic Study, Modeling and Simulation of Homogeneous Rhodium-Catalyzed Methanol arbonylation to Acetic Acid

Thermodynamic restrictions and simultaneous effects of operational conditions on the homogeneous rhodium-catalyzed carbonylation of methanol are studied in this line of research. It is shown that the general NRTL-Virial model can be appropriated to study thermodynamics of the carbonylation. It is obtained that the reaction is kinetically and thermodynamically reasonable at temperatures abov...
