The use of carbon monoxide/hydrogen burning velocities to examine the rate of the CO+OH reaction

New measurements of burning velocity are reported for selected CO/H2 mixtures in air, to provide datafor examining the rate of the CO+OH reaction. Burning velocities were obtained from measurements on constant-pressure expanding spherical flames. Flame speeds over the first 35 mm of travel were measured by high-speed schlieren cine photography and extrapolated to infinite radius, using a simple phenomenological model, to yield one-dimensional...
