Master Equation Analysis of Thermochemical Nonequilibrium of Nitrogen
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using a NASA database of state-to-state transition rates for N+N2, master equation studies are performed for various nonequilibrium heat bath conditions. In these master equation studies, relaxation of the rotational and vibrational modes, time variation of chemical composition, reaction rate coefficients, and average rotational and vibrational energy losses due to dissociation are each considered in strong and weak nonequilibrium conditions. A system of master equations is coupled with one-dimensional flow equations to analyze the relaxation of N2 in post-normal shock flows. From the results of master equations and the post-normal shock calculations, it is recommended that the rotational nonequilibrium of N2 should be treated as a nonequilibrium mode in hypersonic re-entry calculations.

متن کاملModeling of Rotational Nonequilibrium in Post-Normal Shock Flow Analyses
Recent modeling of thermal nonequilibrium processes in simple molecules like hydrogen and nitrogen has indicated that rotational nonequilibrium becomes as important as vibrational nonequilibrium at high temperature. In this study, to analyze rotational nonequilibrium, the rotational mode is separated from the translational-rotational mode that is usually considered in two-temperature models. Th...

State-resolved analyses of N+N2 are performed using the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. In describing the elastic collisions in a state-resolved method, a statespecific total cross section is proposed. The state-resolved model is constructed from the state-specific total cross section and the state-to-state transition cross sections for boundbound and bound-free transitions taken f...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Unsteady Edney Type IV and VII Shock–Shock Interaction
Edney type IV and type VII shock-shock interactions are complex hypersonic flow phenomena. They are characterized by a supersonic jet which reaches far into the flow field. An experimental investigation of the inner jet structure is difficult, especially in cases where the jet is subject to high-frequency unsteady movements. The present paper provides insight into the jet structure by means of ...
