ABSTRACT A theoretical model of chemical and vibrational kinetics of hydrogen oxidation is suggested based on the consistent account for the vibrational nonequilibrium of HO 2 radical which forms in result of bimolecular recombination H + O 2 = HO 2 in the vibrationally excited state. The chain branching H + O 2 = O + OH and inhibiting H + O 2 + M = HO 2 + M formal reactions are considered (in the terms of elementary processes) as a general multi-ch...
