Experiment

Name: NCAR_20170730_nitric oxide/ozone_Nitrate radical_No Seed_CSTR_blank_170730
Date: 2017-07-30

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 O3 and NO in the dark experiment

Summary
First, a given amount of O3 is continuously injected into the chamber till the steady state is established. Second, a given amount of NO is injected into the chamber till another steady state is established.
