Shock tube study of the effect of nitrogen or hydrogen on ignition delays in mixtures of monomethylhydrazine plus oxygen plus argon
Ignition delays have been investigated for mixtures of monomethylhydrazine (MMH) + O-2 + Ar at high temperatures (850-1440 K) in the pressure range 160-400 kPa, for equivalence ratios of 1-4.3 and in the Ar dilution range 82-96 mol%. The replacement of argon by nitrogen leads to a twofold increase of the delay. The addition of 0.88-2.4 mol% hydrogen to the MMH + O-2 + Ar mixture shows that hydrogen has, globally, a promoting effect on the ignition in MMH + O-2 + (Ar). Moreover, it is shown, with the help of a kinetic model that the addition of MMH by forming radicals during its oxidative decomposition promotes hydrogen oxidation in the temperature range 900-1000 K.
