Experiment

Name: NCAR_20170711_nitric oxide/hydrogen peroxide_Hydroxyl radical_No Seed_CSTR_blank_170711
Date: 2017-07-11

Organization
NCAR

Chamber
NCAR 3rd Floor Teflon

Experiment Set
'Intermediate-NO' regime experiments

Goals
Probing the steady state NO and O3 concentration that could be reached by varying the concentrations of reactants H2O2 and NO in the photooxidation experiment

Summary
First, a given amount of H2O2 and NO is continuously injected into the chamber till the steady state is established. Second, the UV lights are on to initiate photochemistry till another steady state is established.

Description:
We performed a series of experiments running at continuous flow steady state mode, focusing on establishing an ‘intermediate NO’ regime characterized by a constant steady-state NO level ranging from tens of ppt to a few ppb in the chamber
