Shock Tube Study of NCO Kinetics,

Abstract

Mixtures of cyanogen, oxygen and nitrous oxide diluted in argon were shock-heated to measure the rate constant of: NCO + O yields CO + NO. In this study, a novel laser absorption diagnostic was used to probe NCO time-histories in high temperature shock tube experiments aimed at determining rate constants for important NCO formation and removal reactions. Mixtures of C2N2, N20 and O2 diluted in argon were shock-heated to determine the rate constant of reaction (3) at 1450 K.
