Abstract

Experimental reaction rate data for the Al/HCl system are very scarce. Such data are needed for the comprehension and for the numerical simulation of the combustion of aluminum particles as encountered in solid segmented motors. Toward this end, we have examined the homogeneous chemistry of this system, computed rate parameters for important reactions using conventional Transition State Theory (TST) and RRKM/master equation simulations, and estimated rate parameters for reactions where rigorous computations are not presently feasible. The reaction mechanism presented in this study consists of 15 species participating in 39 reversible elementary reactions for which rate parameters have been estimated or computed.
