The kinetics of the reactions of ground-state NH with N 2 O and implications for ammonia combustion

Quantum chemistry and canonical transition state theory have been applied to derive rate constants k for reactions of 3 Σ − imidogen with nitrous oxide. 3 channels were quantified. The fastest leads to NNH+NO and may be summarized as k = 2.8 × 10 7 T 1.68 exp.(−23.1 kcal mol −1 /RT) cm 3 mole −1 s −1 . Two much slower pathways lead to N 2 + 3 HNO and spin-forbidden 1 HNO. Modeling of literature data, from an NH 3 /O 2 flame and jet-stirred reactor measurements on dilute NH 3 /N 2 O mixtures, with the new kinetic information suggests that these channels are too slow to consume N 2 O significantly, and confirms that a widely used proposed rate constant for NH+N 2 O overestimates the reactivity.
