THERMAL DISSOCIATION OF HF IN A SHOCK TUBE. PART I. DISSOCIATION BEHIND REFLECTED SHOCK WAVES USING IR ABSORPTION,

Abstract

The rate of dissociation of HF in Argon was measured using infrared absorption of the transition of the 2.5 microns absorption band of HF in a shock tube behind reflected shock waves. High-speed chopping (60 kcps) was used to differentiate between absorbed and emitted radiation. Computer programs allowed correction for HF line (pressure) broadening as a function of temperature and total pressure and for HF association.
