Abstract

The rate constants for the reaction H + O2+ M→HO2+ M were investigated at elevated pressures from 12 to 33 atm using ignition delay time (IDT) measurements behind reflected shock waves in H2/O2/M mixtures with different collision partners M = Ar, H2O, N2 and CO2. The temperature and pressure ranges where the rate constants of the reactions H + O2+ M→HO2+ M and H + O2- > OH + O dominate the IDT sensitivity were selected as optimum test conditions using the detailed H2/O2 mechanism of Hong et al. (2011). The current study thus provides a quantitative and relatively direct method for determining the rate constants for H + O2+ M→HO2+ M using simple IDT measurements. The rate constants found are consistent with earlier studies, but with reduced uncertainties.
