Kinetic Mechanisms for Premixed, Laminar, Steady State Hydrogen/Nitrous Oxide Flames

Abstract

This report pertains to the detailed kinetics governing premixed, laminar, one-dimensional hydrogen/nitrous oxide flames. The long range goal is to understand the kinetics governing propellant decomposition, where nitrogen chemistry is important. Hydrogen/nitrous oxide flames are the simplest case of a flame controlled by nitrogen chemistry. A model has been developed for premixed, laminar, one-dimensional hydrogen/nitrous oxide flames. Results have been compared with a range of experimental data. The present model roughly reproduces the data, but inaccuracies still exist. Sensitivity and screening analyses have been used to indicate the additional experimental data needed to improve the model. Keywords: Burning Velocity.
