Description:
The decomposition of nitric oxide has been studied in the temperature range 2500-4100 K using a shock-tube technique. The principle result of the study was the determination of the rate constant (k) for the reaction O + NO yields N + O2. Mixtures of NO and N2O diluted in argon or krypton were heated by incident shock waves and the infrared emission from the fundamental vibration-rotation band of NO at 5.3 microns was used to monitor the time-varying NO concentration. The experimental values of k are fit closely by the expression k = (2.36 times 10 to the 9th power) x T x exp(-38,640/RT) cm cu/mole-sec, which also provides a good fit to previous data at higher and lower temperatures.
