SCALING OF ROCKET MOTOR EXHAUST OPTICAL RADIA TION. PART II: A STUDY OF COLLISION-INDUCED VIBRATIONAL TRANSITIONS IN MOLECULES.

Abstract

Methods for theoretical determination of cross sections for energy exchange in collision of molecular species present in rocket exhaust jets and the atmosphere are described. Preliminary results are presented which both confirm the usefulness of the method and point out the dif ficulties of selection of appropriate forms for the intermolecular potential functions.
