Abstract
Spatially resolved temperature profiles and profiles of major and minor species of a H2/NO2 low-pressure flame, are needed to better understand the chemistry occurring in this flame. The reactions involved in this flame are believed to be a subset of the more complex network of reactions needed for flame models that are being developed to simulate nitramine solid propellant combustion. In this paper, we report on temperature measurements obtained by coated Pt/Pt-Rh(10%) thermocouples and by OH laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) rotational spectra through its (A2Σ+⋯χ2Π) (1,0) band. The spectra are fitted by a multivariable computer program to a Boltzmann distribution, and a rotational temperature is abstracted. Species profiles of OH and NO2 are obtained experimentally by LIF.
