Chemical Kinetics in Shock-Heated Air

Abstract

The concentration profile and the reaction rates of a postulated reaction scheme have been estimated. It is shown that the contributions of the rates of formation and decomposition of dominant species (N2, O2, N, O, and NO) involving these species only are greater by orders of magnitude than the contributions involving the added minor constituents (N2O, NO2, NO3, and O3).
