- Abstract
- The thermal decomposition of biphenyl (Part 1), phenyl ether, and their eutectic mixture (Part 2) was studied in the temperature range 346 degree to 420 degree C. The pyrolyses of these fluids were conducted in the liquid phase in glass ampules. The pyrolysis time interval was varied from 4000 hours at 346 degree C to 500 hours at 420 degree C.
