Abstract

A thermochemical equilibrium calculation is compared with the experimental results of active mass spectrometric sampling of a high-temperature NF3-CH4-H2-CS2 flame. The predicted flow rate of the products HF, CS, N2, and CS2 is found to agree with the experimental data. The presence of S among the product species is inferred from a second experiment, in which the flux from the high-temperature combustor was extracted through a supersonic nozzle and mixed with a second supersonic stream containing He and O2. The flow rate of the reaction product CO determined during the latter experiment is compared with the flow rate predicted by a kinetics model of the chain reaction between CS and O2 initiated by small amounts of S. It is suggested that such a CS and S generator coupled with a supersonic mixing nozzle could be utilized to construct a completely chemical CO laser of any desired output power.
