Computation of Kinetics for the Hydrogen/Oxygen System Using the Thermodynamic MethodA new method for predicting chemical rate constants using thermodynamics has been applied to the hydrogen/oxygen system. This method is based on using the gradient of the Gibbs free energy and a single proportionality constant D to determine the kinetic rate constants. Using this method the rate constants for any gas phase reaction can be computed from thermodynamic properties. A modified reaction set for the H/O system is determined. A11 of the third body efficiencies M are taken to be unity. Good agreement was obtained between the thermodynamic method and the experimental shock tube data. In addition, the hydrogen bromide experimental data presented in previous work is recomputed with M's of unity.
