APPROXIMATE RADIATION PROPERTIES OF AIR BETWEEN 2000 AND 8000 K

Abstract

The spectral absorption coefficient for equilibrium air at five temperatures between 2000 and 8000 K and six densities between 10 and 0.0001 times the standard density has been calculated by correcting the 1959 tables of Meyerott, Sokolov, and Nicholls for revised values of the f-numbers of the molecular band systems, and adding the contributions of several band systems and continua not included by those investigators. The analysis indicates that band systems of NO2 make an important contribution to the absorption coefficient of air below 6000 K, and the uncertainty in this contribution is probably the biggest source of uncertainty in the air results.
