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 hydroxyl radicals (OH) with deuterium, hydrogen chloride, and propane were measured at elevated temperatures as high as 1000K. Distinct curvature was observed in the Arrhenius plots for OH reactions with HC1 and propane while the OH + D2 reaction rate coefficient seemed to follow the Arrhenius law quite well. The measured rate constants were compared with previous measurements in the literature. (Author)
