- Summary
- A study of the reaction mechanism which leads to NO formation from fuel nitrogen by determining the rate and mechanism of pyridine pyrolysis was continued. In addition to the previously reported volatile products, hydrogen was found in the reactor exit stream. It was found that as the reactor's surface to volume increased, the pyrolysis rate decreased indicating radical recombinations play an important role in the rate of the reaction. The addition of cyanogen to the carrier gas increased the rate significantly. Both the surface and cyanogen effects indicate a chain mechanism may be operating. The mechanistic implications of the data from this program and from related investigations are reviewed.
