Development of OH detection and reactivity techniques with applications to butanol oxidation

The work presented in this thesis utilises the HIRAC chamber for the development and characterisation of instrumentation for measurements of OH and HO₂ radicals, and OH reactivity. This instrumentation is implemented, alongside other standard measurements, following oxidation of processes of butanol...
