Heat transfer in a dissociating gas.

Phyllis S. Greifinger

ResearchPublished 1958

An evaluation of the effects of finite reaction kinetics on heat transfer. The model considered is a chemically reacting gas confined between two plates maintained at different temperatures. The specific type of chemical reaction investigated is the dissociation-recombination reaction <>. Heat transfer is found to be sensitive to the values of G* (proportional to the ratio of the volume reaction rate to the diffusion rate) and l (proportional to the ratio oio oio of cold-wall efficiency in causing atom recombination to the particle mean free path between the plates divided by the separation of the plates), provided that neither parameter is too large. The heat transfer approaches its equilibrium value for ei
