Chemical Generation of Gaseous Excited Oxygen.

Abstract

The object of the work was to design, build, and test a chemical generator to produce a high yield of electronically excited oxygen molecules, O2. The generator is needed as a laboratory tool and as a model for scaling future apparatus to produce larger outputs. The work is divided into three parts. In Part One, the candidate chemical reaction was chosen, the chemical generator and necessary output measuring devices were designed and built, and preliminary data were obtained. The second part was a study of the effects of systematic changes in operating parameters on the performance of the generator. The third part was a consolidation of the results obtained from Part Two into modifications and improvements of the generator with the objective of maximizing the O2 yield.
