Ignition delay times for stoichiometric hydrogen-oxygen in argon with and without carbon dioxide were measured behind reflected shock waves. A 20-reaction kinetic mechanism models the measured hydrogen-oxygen delay times over the temperature range 950 to 1300 K. The chaperon efficiency for carbon dioxide determined for the hydrogen-oxygen carbon dioxide mixture was 7.0. This value is in agreement with literature values but much less than a recent value obtained from flow tube experiments. Delay times measured behind a reflected shock wave were about 20% longer than those measured behind incident shock waves. The kinetic mechanism successfully modeled the high-pressure data of Skinner and the hydrogen-air data of Stack. It is suggested that the lowest temperature points for the hydrogen-air data of Slack are unreliable and that the 0.27-atm data may illustrate a case where vibrational relaxation of nitrogen is important. The reaction pathway HO2 yields H2O2 yields OH yields H was required to model the high-pressure data of Skinner. The successful modeling of the stoichiometric hydrogen-air data demonstrates the appropriateness of deriving kinetic models from data for gas mixtures highly diluted with argon. The technique of reducing a detailed kinetic mechanism to only the important reactions for a limited range of experimental data may render the mechanism useless for other test conditions.
