- Abstract
- Fuel-nitrogen chemistry plays an important role in the formation of combustion-generated nitric oxide. Although the essential features of the kinetic mechanism are commonly agreed upon, the values of individual reaction rate constants are not well established. Cyano species such as CN and NCO have been shown to play a key role in this mechanism. In this study, a shock tube was used to measure the rate constants of important reactions involving these radicals at high temperatures.
