Abstract
The channel heating model is used to study the NO production by lightn ing. The reaction N + NO --> N-2 (v = 5) + O is included in this mode l to investigate the effect on NO production. The calculations show si gnificant changes in the NO production reported in earlier studies. It is found that the production of NO decreases by a factor of 2 at lowe r rates of mixing with the ambient air, and that this deviation narrow s down toward zero at higher mixing rates.
