The kinetics of chemical transformation in N{sub 2}O-H{sub 2}-O{sub 2}-Ar mixtures has been studied in the temperature range from 1000 to 2700 K and at pressures from 0.1 to 10 atm. A shock-tube experiment has been used to obtain data on the times of ignition delay in mixtures weakly diluted with inert gas (50 to 90% Ar). Based on the results, a mechanism to describe the kinetics in the system under study has been suggested. The values of rate constants of some chemical reactions involving N{sub 2}O, NO, and OH have been specified. (author)
