✦ Synopsis

The ignition delay for methane-air mixtures is found to be reduced by the addition of nitrogen dioxide. Reflected shock wave experiments indicate that a reduction of 1/2 -1/3 in ignition delay can be realized when 1-2% NO2 is added to stoichiometric mixtures at a temperature range of 1300-1800°K and pressures around 14 atms.
