Survey of Rate Constants in the N/H/O System

Combustion Chemistry

Abstract

Current interest in high-temperature N/H/O kinetics stems primarily from the practical importance of combustion-generated emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). The recognition of air pollution as a problem of societal concern has prompted a concentrated research effort on the kinetics of NOx formation and decomposition and has led to a considerable expansion in the fundamental data base for rate constants of elementary reactions in the N/H/O system. The objectives of this survey are twofold: (1) to provide critical rate constant evaluations of reactions for which high-temperature data have been recently acquired, with due consideration given to previous evaluations, particularly the widely used survey at Leeds University (Baulch, et al., 1973); and (2) to provide an extensive compilation of N/H/O reactions and rate constants including both nonevaluated and evaluated reactions, that is, reactions for which limited or no rate data are available currently as well as reactions which have undergone critical reviews previously or in this study.
