✦ Synopsis

An integral method including the entrainment hypothesis of Hoult, Fay and Forney (1969) is used to predict the concentration of product formed in a buoyant jet in a crossflow. The analysis is restricted to a slow, irreversible, second-order reaction with premixed reactants. Reliable laboratory data are presented for the oxidation of nitric oxide by the reaction 2 N 0 + 0 2 -. 2N02 with excess 0 2 and these results are correlated with the theory. Additional measurements are recorded to provide information on the magnitude of the turbulent parameters necessary for proper closure of the rate expressions.
