Chemical Kinetic Data Base for Propellant Combustion I. Reactions Involving NO, NO2, HNO, HNO2, HCN and N2O

Abstract

This publication contains evaluated chemical kinetic data on a number of single step elementary reactions involving small polyatomic molecules which are of importance in propellant combustion. The work involves the collection and evaluation of mechanistic and rate information and the use of various methods for the extrapolation and estimation of rate data where information does not exist. The conditions covered range from 500–2500 K and 1017–1022 particles/cm3. The results of the first years effort lead to coverage of all pertinent reactions of the following species; H, H2, H2O, O, OH, OCHO, CHO, CO, NO, NO2, HNO, HNO2, HCN, and N2O.
