- Abstract
- A mass spectrometric system is described for the measurement of r4eactive intermediates in 1 atm flames. The system has been tested on CH4 - O2 and CH4 - O2 - N2 flames and provides for the first time a complete analysis of such flames for species in excess of 10-5 mole fraction concentrtion. The formation of excited H2O in these flames is also suggested.
