Measurement of Rate Constants of Elementary Gas Reactions of Importance to Upper Atmosphere and Combustion Systems

Abstract

Fortunately, a parallel research investigation on collosional relaxation of highly excited hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride, formerly supported by the Advanced Research Projects administration, and a great scientific research and development interest to AFOSR was able to be continued with modest support from this contract and has provided valuable information on relaxation rate measurements for HC1 (v= 1 to 7) colliding with a large number of other molecules and some preliminary rate measurements for HF (v= 1 to 7). The present report will therefore be subdivided into two sections dealing with these two topics, but it must be kept in mind that this is essentially a progress report covering the initial 14-months building up period of a major project.
