The Kinetics and Spectroscopy of Aircraft and Rocket Plume Constituents.

Abstract

Utilizing the technique of flash photolysis-resonance fluorescence the rate constants for the reactions of hydrozyl radicals (OH) with hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide and ethane were measured at elevated temperatures as high as 1020K. Distinct curvature was observed in the Arrhenius plots for all four reactions. The measured rate constants were compared with previous measurements in the literature. Future measurement plans were outlined. (Author)
