Abstract

In this chapter we describe the estimation and interpretation of rate coefficients for thermal dissociation, isomerization, and recombination reactions. While such reactions are only a small fraction of the elementary reactions of combustion mechanisms, some of them do play essential roles. Their kinetic behavior is governed by the competition of unimolecular “chemical” changes in molecular structure with bimolecular “physical” collisional energization and deenergization processes.
