NASA's Atmospheric Effects of Aviation Project (AEAP) is developing a scientific basis for assessment of the atmospheric impact of subsonic and supersonic aviation. A primary goal is to assist assessments of United Nations scientific organizations and hence, consideration of emissions standards by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Engine tests have been conducted at AEDC to fulfill the need of AEAP. The purpose of these tests is to obtain a ...
This report presents the results of an evaluation of the H + NF2 flame as an efficient generator of electronically excited molecular nitrogen (Active Nitrogen). To this end, the following measurements have been made: (1) The absolute populations of active nitrogen produced in the H/H2 + NF2 flame were measured. This work was performed in a fast-flow reactor equipped with an optical emission spectroscopy (OES) experiment. Hydrogen atoms were generated ...
