THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS OF SPECTRAL OPACITIES OF MIXTURES OF HYDROGEN AND DIATOMIC GASES.
Abstract
Theoretical and experimental investigations were conducted to determine the variation of absorption coefficient with wave number for molecular gases mixed with H. Molecular gases considered in the theoretical program were CO, BeO, and the CN molecule, while those employed in the experimental program were CO, HCL, and CH4. The experimental program was conducted in a combustion-driven shock tube at temperatures between 1000 and 3100 K and total pressures between 8 and 68 atm. The funcion of the H carrier gas was to broaden the rotational lines of the molecules so that the spectral absorption coefficients of each vibrational band would approach a continum. A limited experimental investigation was also conducted to determine the effect of electrical fields and aerodynamic shear on the opacity of particles carried in a gas stream. (Author)
