Download or read book A Time dependent Quasi one dimensional Analysis of Population Inversions in an Expanding Gas written by John David Anderson (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A time-dependent technique for the numerical solution of convergent-divergent, nonequilibrium nozzle flows was used to analyze the rapid, vibrational nonequlibrium, supersonic expansion of CO2-N2-H2O and CO2-N2-He mixtures, wherein the finite rate molecular energy transfer processes can result in a population inversion between the (001) and (100) vibrational energy levels of CO2. Results for such population inversions are presented. Among these, a comparison was made between the present results and the recent results of Basov et al; this comparison indicates that Basov's calculations overestimate the population inversion in an expanding mixture of CO2 and N2. In addition, results are presented from a series of numerical experiments conducted to assess the validity of several simplified methods for computing population inversions. (Author).

Download or read book Population Inversions in an Expanding Gas written by John David Anderson (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well established that population inversions between the (001) and (100) vibrational energy levels of CO2 can be created by rapid expansions of CO2-N2-H2O or He mixtures through supersonic nozzles. New experimental results are presented for such inversions. These experiments were conducted in both the 3-Megawatt Arc Tunnel and the 12.7 cm Shock Tunnel at the Naval Ordnance Laboratory. The results support previously published theoretical predictions obtained with a numerical, time-dependent, nonequilibrium nozzle flow analysis employing a simplified vibrational kinetic model. This theory is also compared with experimental data obtained by other investigators. (Author).
Download or read book Gasdynamic Lasers An Introduction written by John D. Jr. Anderson and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gasdynamic Lasers: An Introduction is a 12-chapter introductory text to major development generations of gasdynamic lasers, focusing on their underlying physical and fundamental aspects. The opening chapters discuss the basic detailed physical phenomena that ultimately are responsible for producing gasdynamic laser action and the methods of calculating the performance of these devices. These topics are followed by a chapter on confirmation of the performance calculations through arc and shock tunnel experiments. The discussion then shifts to vibrational relaxation process behind normal shock waves in CO2-N2-He mixtures and assesses their population inversions occurring in the nonequilibrium flow. Other chapters explore the concepts of downstream mixing and optical cavity in gasdynamic lasers, as well as the laser beam extracted from these devices. A systematic study of aerodynamic windows that use supersonic flow across the aperture is presented in the concluding chapters, along with the phenomena associated with gasdynamic laser diffusers. This introductory text will be of great value to professional scientists and engineers, as well as to students and workers in the field who are interested in interdisciplinary applied science.
Download or read book Vibrational Population Inversions Within Normal Shock Waves in CO2 N2 He Mixtures written by John David Anderson (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerical solutions are given for vibrational population inversions created in CO2-N2-He mixtures due to shock wave heating of a cold gas. The results indicate that population inversions between the (040) and (001) energy levels of CO2 and, to a lesser degree, between the (200) and (001) levels, can be created in the vibrational nonequilibrium flow behind a normal shock front. The properties of these inversions as a possible laser medium are assessed; the results indicate that the laser properties of this shock-induced nonequilibrium flow are not as promising as those of lasers operating on the principle of rapid expansions.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fortran IV computer program is presented for the calculation of small-signal gain and maximum available energy for CO2-N2-H2O gasdynamic lasers. In comparison to an earlier version, the present program contains several computational improvements which result in a dramatic, order-of-magnitude reduction in computation time. These improvements are discussed in detail. (Author).
Download or read book Equilibrium Normal Shock Properties for Vibrationally Excited CO2 N2 He Gas Mixtures written by Michael T. Madden and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results are given for equilibrium properties behind incident and reflected normal shock waves in CO2-N2-He mixtures wherein the gas may be vibrationally excited but not chemically reacting. A rapid numerical iterative analysis is described, and the results are given in simple graphical form for convenient use in shock tube and shock tunnel experiments. The results are anticipated to be of particular use in determining reservoir conditions for shock tunnel experiments dealing with vibrational population inversions in rapidly expanding mixtures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A previous time-dependent finite-difference numerical solution of second order accuracy for quasi-one-dimensional nonequilibrium nozzle flows using 3 terms of a Taylor's series expansion in time is modified such that only 2 terms of a series expansion are required for second order accuracy. As a result, an already straightforward analysis of nonequilibrium nozzle flows is made even simpler. With the present solution, numerical experiments are carried out for gas dynamic laser flows in order to study the consequences of large H2O content, high reservoir pressures and small nozzle throat heights.

Download or read book CO2 Laser Radiation Absorption in SF6 air Boundary Layers written by John David Anderson (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous investigators have shown that gaseous sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a strong absorber of radiation at 10.6 micrometers. This wavelength also corresponds to the output from common CO2 lasers. New experimental and theoretical results are presented for the 10.6 micrometers absorption coefficient and saturation properties of SF6-air mixtures at conditions near standard sea level. Variations with pressure, wavelength and temperature are measured. Results for 10 percent SF6-90 percent air at 1 atm show that such mixtures are stron absorbers of CO2 laser radiation, and that saturation intensities are larger than 10,000 watts/sq cm. Measurements of CO2 laser radiation absorption within boundary layers with SF6 injection are made on the sidewall of a small subsonic wind tunnel. The beam intensity is attenuated by several orders of magnitude due to absorption by the SF6. (Author).
