Requirements for attaining Treanor's distribution of vibrational energy among CO2 levels in CW gasdynamic laser flows
Abstract
The evolution of the CO2/Ar molecular system during its expansion in a supersonic nozzle towards a Treanor type distribution system of CO2 vibrational levels is described. The analysis verifies that this type of the vibrational energy distribution exists in CW gasdynamic laser flows.
