Energy Transfer Mechanisms in Optical Observables. Part 1. The Nitrogen Afterglow and the Rate of Recombination of Nitrogen Atoms in the Presence of Nitrogen, Argon and Helium. Part II. Chemiluminescence of the Atomic Oxygen-Hydrazine Reaction.
Abstract
The report is divided into two parts. In the first, the pressure dependence of the visible nitrogen afterglow intensity is determined using a pressure jump technique in a static system; the total rate of homogeneous recombination of nitrogen atoms is measured, also in a static system; and the kinetics of afterglow production and its relation to the overall recombination rate is discussed. In the second part, the kinetic origin of the chemiluminescence of NO, OH, NH, and NH2 in the O/N2H4 reaction is investigated in a flow system, mainly by a quenching technique; and the rate constant of the overall reaction is estimated.
