The development of a supersonic chemical reactor is examined.
The central concept of such a reactor is that gases can be
expanded to supersonic speed which will result in a decrease
in their static temperature to the extent that no reaction
will occur when the gases are mixed together. After mixing
has occurred the mixture can then be passed through a standing
shock to raise this temperature very rapidly, thus controlling
the product spectrum. The main areas of interest for such a reactor, namely the
establishment of a shock and the mixing of two gases at
supersonic speed are examined. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1977.
