Graham Dixon-Lewis was a physical chemist who pioneered both experimental and mathematical studies that revealed the nature of flames. His researches, based on what was known of the chemical kinetics of hydrogen oxidation, also showed the way forward for the mathematical modelling of laminar flame structures for other fuels. These models have proved invaluable in providing the input data also for the mathematical modelling of practical turbulent flames.

The addition of molecular oxygen was found to increase the rate of rem oval of hydrogen atoms in a flow system at and below room temperature. Kinetic studies of this process using argon carrier showed that the rate-determining step is the third-order reaction H + O2 + Ar = HO 2 + Ar. (2) Atomic oxygen in small concentrations is produced in the system. Product analysis and measurements of oxygen atom concentrations indicated that the principal reactions removing HO 2 under these conditions are H+HO 2 = H 2 +O 2 , (12a) H+HO 2 = OH+OH, (12b) H+HO 2 = H 2 O+O 2 , (12c) A value for k 2 of 2.2 x 10 -32 cm 6 molecule -2 s -1 was determined at 293 °K. Reaction (2) was found to have a small negative temperature coefficient. These data and values of k 2 from explosion limit studies can be represented by the expression k 2 = 1.3 x 10 -33 exp (+ 1600 + 700/ RT ) cm 6 molecule -2 s -1 in the range 250 to 800 °K. The third-body efficiencies in reaction (2) at 293 °K of He and H 2 O relative to Ar are similar to those obtained from data on the second explosion limit at higher temperatures.
