Laser fluorescence and absorption spectroscopy have been used to investigate a stoichiometric H/sub 2//N/sub 2/O flame stabilized on a porous plug flat flame burner at atmospheric pressure. Concentration profiles of OH, NH and NO, and the temperature profile were obtained. A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism which describes the flame chemistry was evaluated using a one-dimensional flame code which included multicomponent diffusional transport. This chemical kinetic mechanism was able to predict the observed OH, NH, and NO concentration levels within the experimental accuracy. These concentration levels were found to depend strongly on the two product channels of the H + N/sub 2/O reaction: N/sub 2/ + OH and NH + NO.
