Experimental Studies on the Reaction Kinetics of 1,1-Dimethylhydrazine and Oxygen

摘要

Measurements behind shock waves in highly diluted 1,1 dimethylhydrazine-O2-Ar mixtures clearly showed a two-stage reaction. In the first stage, UDMH decomposes via a unimolecular step; in the second stage, clearly separated from the first one, the decay products react further with O2. Values for the rate constant of unimolecular decomposition were obtained.
