A mathematical expression for rate constants of transfer reactions involving atomic and molecular hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen, nitric oxide, hydroxyl radicals, and HN radical is derived to provide a computer program for estimating rate constants of elementary chemical reactions for mathematical models of combustion processes. A table of rate constants for such reactions is listed which may prove useful in estimating other rate constants for reactions that have not been experimentally studied, especially for temperatures above 1000/sup 0/K. A convenient form of the equilibrium constant that is suitable for combustion reactions is also given.
