Kinetic Studies of Elementary Reactions Using the Flash Photolysis-Shock Tube Technique

摘要

The development of the flash photolysis-shock tube technique is reviewed and the advantages and limitations of the method are discussed. Kinetic obtained with the Brookhaven FP-ST facility over the 800K to 2500K temperature range, are described for the following atom-molecule reactions: (1) H + NH sub 3 implies NH sub 2 + H sub 2 ; (2) O + CH sub 4 implies OH + CH sub 3 ; (3) O + H sub 2 implies OH + H; (4) H + H sub 2 O implies OH + H sub 2 ; (5) H + O sub 2 implies OH + O; (6) H + O sub 2 + M implies HO sub 2 + M; (7) O + C sub 2 H sub 4 implies Products. The results obtained in this laboratory for reactions (1), (2), (3) and (7) are compared with those reported previously. 26 refs., 6 figs. (ERA citation 13:001344)
