Abstract

A one dimensional mass continuity equation was used to model a low pressure, high radical concentration, non-isothermal oxygen afterglow reactor. The mathematics are very similar to those used to model flames. It was shown that the model, with no adjustable parameters, yielded very good agreement with experimental measures of O-atom flux. The model was manipulated to study the influence of temperature profile, pressure, homogeneous and heterogeneous kinetics, O-atom generation and flow rate on the afterglow plasma.
