Abstract. The thermal decomposition of gaseous monomethylhydrazine has been studied in a 38.4 mm i.d. shock tube behind a reflected shock wave at 1040–1370 K, 140–455 kPa and in mixtures containing 97 to 99 mol% argon, by using MMH absorption at 220 nm. A chemical kinetic model based on MMH decomposition profiles has been developed. This model has been used, with some assumptions, to evaluate the detonation sensitivity of pure gaseous MMH. This compound is found to be much less sensitive to detonation than hydrazine.
