Cochise studies

The COCHISE facility is designed to permit the study of chemiluminescent reaction kinetics under 'single' collision conditions. The effort reported here is concerned with the development of a detailed, fluid dynamical analysis to aid in the understanding of the flow field under experimental conditions. Preliminary results from the infrared chemiluminescent reaction of O2 with N(2D) atoms are analyzed, and a possible diagnostic absorption technique for the measurement of N(2D) concentrations is analyzed.
