Atmospheric Reaction Mechanisms of Amine Fuels

Abstract

This report describes a detailed investigation of the atmospheric reactions of hydrazine (N2H4), monomethylhydrazine (MMH), and unsymmetrically dimethylhydrazine (UDMH) relevant to assessments of the impact of their releases to the atmosphere as a result of their wide use as fuels for military purposes. Experiments were conducted in 3800 l and 6400 l Teflon reaction chambers, with reactant and product concentrations measured by long pathlength (68.3-102.4 m) Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy.
