Reflected shock waves allowed temperatures from 1230 to 1800 K and pressures from 7.3 to 9.5. atm to be obtained. These measurements have shown that cyclopentane is much less reactive than. cyclohexane, as for a given temperature the observed autoignition delay times were about ten times. higher for the C5 compound compared to the C6.
