Bimolecular Reaction Rate Coefficients

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Combustion Chemistry

Abstract

The study of bimolecular gas reaction rate coefficients has been one of the primary subjects of kinetics investigations over the last 20 years. Largely as a result of improved reaction systems (static flash photolysis systems, flow reactors, and shock tubes) and sensitive detection methods for atoms and free radicals (atomic and molecular resonance spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance and mass spectrometry, laser-induced fluorescence, and laser magnetic resonance), improvements in both the quality and the quantity of kinetic data have been made. Summarizing accounts of our present knowledge of the rate coefficients for reactions important in combustion chemistry are given in Chapters 5 and 6.
