Vibrational and Chemical Relaxation Rates of Diatomic Gases

Date

Authors

Kewley, Douglas John

Abstract

A theoretical and experimental study of the vibrational and chemical relaxation rates of diatomic gases, in flows behind shock waves and along nozzles,is made here. ¶ The validity of the conventional relaxation rate models, which are generally used to analyse experiments, is tested by developing a detailed microscopic description of the diatomic relaxation processes. ...
