Heterogeneous chain propagation in low-pressure flames

Abstract: An analysis of papers on hydrogen combustion at low pressures is performed, which refines the contribution of the catalytic reactions on the reactor wall to the gas-phase part of the process. A new model for the heterogeneous loss of active reaction centers was proposed and tested experimentally to explain inconsistencies that occur in some papers. In this model, the diffusion region of chain termination is formed under standard experimental conditions in vacuum oxyhydrogen flames at a reactor gas pressure a thousand times lower than the boundary pressure postulated by the previous models as the pressure below which the diffusion region of chain termination cannot be formed.

Keywords: low-pressure flame, chain branching, atoms, radicals, chain explosion.
