Microsoft Word - Subith_Thesis_v23. docx - Stanford University OH time-histories were modeled by using a modified oxidation mechanism and rate constants for the reactions of OH with ethylene, propene, and 1,3-butadiene were extracted by matching modeled and measured OH concentration time histories in the reflected shock region
Part 1: Oxidation and OH radicals - Harvard University The scheme on the left shows how OH chemistry is fundamentally linked with the day-time reaction cycles of the nitrogen oxides How much OH is formed? Since OH is an extremely reactive radical it reacts as soon as it is formed It's lifetime is less than a second
