Advanced All-Gas Chemical Generation of Atomic Iodine for a COIL, and Testing the COIL Operation Including This Method of Atomic Iodine Generation

摘要

This report results from a contract tasking Academy of Sciences as follows: The Grantee will investigate advanced methods for chemical generation of atomic iodine for a Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser (COIL). The experimental investigation will be performed on a small-scale pilot device in the case of basic study of the kinetics of atomic iodine generation via chemically generated fluorine atoms and directly in a modified COIL device via both Cl and F atoms. Experimental work will be supported with computational modelling of both reaction systems; a simplified 1-D modeling, and more sophisticated 3-D CFD model will be employed.
