FURTHER SHOCK-TUBE STUDIES OF THE HOMOGENEOUS DECOMPOSITION OF NH3

Abstract

The rate of decomposition of NH3 in Ar was measured between 2000 to 3000 K by following the rate of decrease of NH3 emission intensity in the 2.7 to 3.2 micron wavele gth region. Data indicated that the thermal decomposition of NH3 follows a kinetic law given by d(NH3)/dt = k(NH3) to the 3/2 power (Ar) to the 1/2 power where k equals (2.5 x 10 to the 13th power) e to the -77,700/RT power liters/mole-sec.
