DIFFUSION AND HETEROGENEOUS REACTION. VI. SURFACE RECOMBINATION IN THE PRESENCE OF DISTRIBUTED ATOM SOURCES.
Abstract
A theoretical analysis is made of the simultaneous removal of atoms by a first-order, heterogeneous reaction and their generation by a second-order, gas-phase reaction. Such a model is found applicable to a system in which hydrogen atoms recombine on the walls of a cylindrical vessel in the presence of hydroxyl radicals which may interact in the gas by reaction with hydrogen molecules. The perturbation of the hydrogen-atom concentration profile in the cylinder due to OH as measured by electron spin resonance spectroscopy is employed to calculate the rate constant for the gasphase reaction OH + H2 yields H2O + H.
