Abstract

The effects of water vapor on the kinetics and product branching ratio of the reaction of organic peroxy radicals (RO₂) with nitrous oxide are under investigation. Hyrdrocarbon combustion produces organic peroxy radicals which then react with NO to form NO₂ or organic nitrates (RONO₂). This reaction which branches is shown below:
