Book Description
Sound-absorption and -velocity measurements in carbon dioxide water-vapor mixtures were made over the temperature range 23-195C. The measurements were made using plane progressive waves inside a glass tube 1.73 cm in diameter. Values of the mixture relaxation time obtained from the data increase from 0.27X10 to the -8th power sec at 23C to 0.58X10 to the -8th power sec at 195C, displaying no minimum value as has been reported previously by other authors. The collision efficiency decreases slightly over this temperature range. Values of an average collision diameter calculated from the experimental data are in good agreement with values predicted by the Widom-Bauer theory, the basis of which is a chemical affinity between the CO2 and H2O molecules.

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.

Kinetic Processes in Gases and Plasmas
Author: A HochstimPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323149111
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 473
Book Description
Kinetic Processes in Gases and Plasmas provides a survey of studies on transport and chemical kinetic processes in high temperature gases and plasmas. The book is concerned with conditions produced by the interaction of an object with the atmosphere at hypersonic velocities. The text also provides a foundation for the flow field equations which include chemical reactions and other transport processes, and to present in some detail the microscopic considerations underlying these calculations. Chapters are devoted to the discussion of topics such as the molecular theory of transport equations; transport processes in ionized gases; and inelastic energy transfer processes and chemical kinetics. Aerospace engineers, physicists, chemists, and astrophysicists will find the book a good reference material.
