Abstract:

Absolute infrared intensity measurements is to be performed on metal oxides produced in situ in shock tubes behind reflected shock waves by chemical reactions between volatile gaseous constituents. Infrared measurements refer to the 8 to 15 micron region on vibration-rotation bands belonging to metal oxides. The initial investigations are to be performed on FeO formed in FeCO5-O2-Ar mixtures at temperatures between 1500 and 3000K. The report describes the shock tube facility, gas mixing system, ultraviolet and visible spectrometer, and the infrared radiometer to be used.
