The Vibrational Excitation of HF Behind Incident Shock Waves

Abstract

The vibrational excitation of HF occurring behind incident shock waves has been studied in the temperature range of 1400K to 4100K. The extent of excitation was determined as a function of time by continuously monitoring the emission intensity from the 1-0 band of HF centered at 2.5 microns. The data were interpreted in terms of the process HF(0) + M = HF(1) + M.
