Book Description
The interaction of radiative and vibrational nonequilibrium in flows of carbon-dioxide gas was studied. Radiative transfer and vibrational rate equations were developed and then applied to acoustic problems in a plane-parallel geometry. A rigid-rotor-harmonic-oscillator model was assumed. Microscopic transfer equations are written for each of the three most important bands. The microscopic equations are then summed over all possible transitions to yield the microscopic transfer equations. It was found that the rate equations can be applied for any vibration-vibration transition or combination of such transitions. The linearized radiative transfer and vibrational rate equations specialized to a plane-parallel geometry are applied in conjunction with the linearized one-dimensional equations of gas dynamics. A study is made in particular of the acoustic waves caused in CO2 in a closed tube by a periodic input of radiation. Two special cases - the spectrophone and tuned case - are examined and possible experimental procedures are discussed. (Author).
Flow with Coupled Radiative and Vibrational Nonequilibrium in a Diatomic Gas

Book Description
A theoretical model for the interaction of radiative and vibrational rate processes in the flow of an infrared-active diatomic gas is developed, with specific application to radiative acoustics and to flow through a normal shock wave. Macroscopic equations of radiative transfer and vibrational relation are obtained, that, while retaining the essential features of the microscopic physics, are simple enough to incorporate usefully with the conservation equation of gas dynamics. The transfer equation is linearized about an equilibrium reference state in a plane-parallel geometry. The analysis is then able to retain the essentially nongrey spectral character of the radiative field because the linearization allows the integration over spectral frequency to be carried out independently of the integrations over space. For application in acoustics, the foregoing results are combined with the linearized vibrational rate equation and linearized equations of unsteady, inviscid flow. This leads to a single, sixth-order acoustic equation for a radiating, relaxing gas, which contains the earlier equations for vibrational or radiative nonequilibrium alone as special cases. The consequences of coupling between radiative and molecular nonequilibrium are explored in detail by an analytical, perturbation solution for the flow through a normal shock wave. The relative importance of the radiative process for a given shock strength and upstream temperature increases with decreasing upstream pressure. (Author).

A Method for the Experimental Study of Vibrational Nonequilibrium Using Resonant Radiatively Driven Acoustic Waves

Pages : 182
Book Description
The work studied, experimentally and theoretically, the interaction of radiative and vibrational nonequilibrium in the motion of an infrared-active gas. Specifically, the study was concerned with acoustic waves caused in the infrared-active gas in a closed tube by a periodic input of radiation. The pressure response associated with these waves is measured and is compared with theoretical predictions. The resonant (or tuned) condition, in which the tube length is an integer multiple of one half the classical acoustic wavelength, with corresponding enhanced response, was of primary interest. A new and unique method of measuring resonance profiles of pressure amplitude and phase angle has been developed. These profiles are obtained by varying the wavelength of the acoustic wave about its resonant value. Theoretical solutions were obtained for the phenomena under study in the experiment, with particular emphasis on the interpretation of the measured resonance-profile information. The solutions are obtained by application of a basic model for the coupling of radiative and vibrational nonequilibrium in an infrared-active diatomic gas, developed in recent work by Gilles and Vincenti. Two types of solutions are discussed. Experiments were performed in pure CO2 and in various mixtures of CO with other gases. (Author).
Coupled Vibration and Dissociation Relaxation Behind Strong Shock Waves in Carbon Dioxide

Pages : 44
Book Description
The harmonic oscillator rigid-rotator model has been used to calculate the relaxation region behind a shock wave in carbon dioxide. Finite relaxation rates for the three different vibrational modes and two dissociation reactions are included. Models for the coupling between the vibrational relaxation and the dissociation process are based on the assumption that dissociation can proceed from any vibrational level with equal probability. Two different models for the vibrational excitation have been examined. Solutions have been obtained for the interdependent fluid-flow, chemical rate, and vibrational relaxation-rate equations incorporating estimated rate coefficients. Results are presented in the form of flow-field profiles for density, pressure, translational and vibrational temperatures, and species concentrations. The effects of vibrational excitation, vibration-dissociation coupling, and energy exchange between the vibrational modes are investigated. The effect of vibrational relaxation and vibration-dissociation coupling is much stronger in CO2 with three different vibrational modes than in diatomic gases with only a single mode. The results of this study show that the effect of coupled vibrational relaxation and dissociation can sometimes alter the flow-field profiles by a factor of 2 compared to similar calculations without such coupling. For vibrational relaxation the results indicate that the shock-wave profiles depend primarily on the rate at which the translational energy is fed into internal modes and not so strongly on the energy distribution among the modes.
Vibrational Relaxation and Radiative Gain in Expanding Flows of Anharmonic Oscillators

Pages : 36
Book Description
The set of master rate equations for the vibrational relaxation of mixtures of anharmonic diatomic gases in supersonic nozzle expansions is integrated numerically. Large deviations from a Boltzmann distribution of vibrational state population are predicted, particularly when vibrational energy is exchanged between two near-resonant diatomic species. Radiative gain coefficients for nonequilibrium vibration-rotation transitions are also computed and positive gains, sufficient to support laser oscillations, are predicted for CO-N2 and CO-N,-Ar admixtures.
