Simplified model of a continuous wave diffusion-type chemical laser - An extension
Abstract
The analysis of Mirels, Hofland, and King (1973) is extended to include multiple vibrational levels with allowance for both laminar and turbulent diffusion. Arbitrary mixing rates and chemical rate coefficients are considered. Initial flow nonuniformity, pressure nonuniformity and heat addition effects are neglected. Solutions for zero power and amplifier cases as well as expressions for total oscillator output power are obtained. The flame sheet mixing model used in the study is shown to give results that are identical with those from the scheduled mixing model of Broadwell (1974) when mean chemical rates are employed.
