Abstract
The kinetics of the nonthermal decomposition of nitrous oxide (N2O) in a nonequilibrium plasma is investigated experimentally. A numerical model of the process is constructed and used to simulate the decomposition of N2O in a high-current pulsed discharge. The most important channels for decomposition are revealed by analyzing the results obtained. The role of the charged, electronically excited, and vibrationally excited components is examined. It is shown that the mechanism for the thermally nonequilibrium decomposition of N2O in a high-current pulsed discharge is governed by the reactions involving ions and electronically excited molecules.
