The Harmonic and Anharmonic Models for Vibrational Relaxation and Dissociation of the Nitrogen Molecule

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA177453 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The theory of the vibrational energy relaxation and dissociation of the nitrogen molecule is formulated. The appropriate rates are developed for the harmonic HO and anharmonic oscillator AHO models. Specifically, a V-T rate for T 2000 K is recommended. Comparison is made in the rate of the HO and AHO models indicating that relaxations in the AHO model is more rapid compared to that of the HO model. Keywords Harmonic oscillator, Anharmonic oscillator, Vibrational relaxation, Dissociation, Nitrogen molecule.
