Kinetic and Spectroscopic Studies of Chemical Intermediates at Both High and Low Temperatures.
Abstract
The temperature dependence of the rate constants of a number of elementary energy transfer, chemical and chemiluminescent reactions was measured using a combined discharge-flow/shocktube technique. In addition, the method itself was developed to provide a low temperature (to 100 K) capability. The reactions studied were: The collisional deactivation of O2(b prime sigma g) and O2(a prime delta g) by N2 and H2; the reactions of atomic nitrogen and oxygen with air (Lewis Rayleigh and Air Afterglows); and the quenching of O2(a prime sigma g) by O2 itself. The emissivity of the dimol transition of O2(a prime sigma g) was also measured.
