Kinetics of Some Metal Atom and Metal Fluoride Oxidation Reactions Relevant to Air Force Technology Development.

Abstract

This experimental work is providing kinetic data on metal oxidation reactions for Air Force rocket propulsion and ramjet technology programs using the HTFFR (High-Temperature Fast-Flow Reactor) technique over the temperature range 300 to 1900 K. The reaction mechanisms and rate coefficients have been obtained from optical absorption and fluorescence measurements of the consumption of metal atoms or metal monoxide/monohalide radicals, as functions of pressure, oxidizer concentration, reaction time, and temperature; these variables are independently controlled.
