Nonequilibrium chemistry in an isothermal turbulent flow
Abstract
The mixing of two air streams doped respectively with NO and O3 in an isothermal turbulent flow and the resulting nonequilibrium chemical reaction have been studied using a recently developed turbulent smog chamber and relatively fast chemiluminescent analyzers. Joint probability-density functions of reactant concentration, mixture fraction, reaction-progress variable, reaction time, and mean reaction rates are presented and interpreted in the light of preliminary flow-characterization results.
