Dynamics of the NH(X 3 Sigma(-)) + NO(X 2 pi) Reaction: Internal StateDistribution of the OH(X 2 pi) Product

摘要

The reaction of imidogen (NH) with nitric oxide is of importance in a variety ofcombustion processes, including the oxidation of ammonia, hydrazine, etc., and in schemes for the control of NO(X) emissions from fuel nitrogen. The rate constant of the reaction of ground-state NH(X3 sigma (-)) near room temperature has been measured by a number of groups, and there is reasonable agreement that the rate constant is large, ca. 5 X 10(11) cm3 molecule(-1)S(-1). A recent shock tube measurement of the rate of this reaction at high temperatures has been reported. This work also reviews earlier determinations of the high-temperature rate constant.
