Abstract:The statistical thermodynamic model for the vibrational partition function with separated stretching and bending is developed. The model is studied on the example of CO 2 molecule for temperature up to 20,000 K with the aim to describe efficient dissociation by deposition of energy mainly to the stretching modes of vibration. The observed separation of bending mode at lower temperatures suggest that it is possible to construct such kinetic model of plasma in which the high vibrational temperature of stretching… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
