Abstract

The branching fraction for the NH2 + NO reaction has been determined in the temperature range 1210-1370 K from flow reactor experiments on the NH3/NO/O2 and CO/NH3/NO/O2 systems. The branching fraction is defined as α = k1/(k1 + k2), where NH2 + NO → NNH + OH (1) and NH2 + NO → N2 + H2O (2). The experiments were performed at very low oxygen concentrations to minimize the impact of secondary reactions. The results show that a increases gradually from a value of 0.35 ± 0.04 at 1211 K to 0.45 ± 0.02 at 1369 K. The data blend smoothly with the most recent direct measurements and confirm the significant rise in branching fraction suggested by previous high-temperature determinations in static reactors and flames.
