Abstract
The processes of oscillatory relaxation in flow through nozzles of CO2, N2, O2, H2O gas mixtures are studied. The effect of various oscillatory-oscillatory and osciallatory-translational exchange channels between mixture components and CO2 intermode energy-exchange Channels on population inversion is examined. The importance of considering nonequilibrium processes in the infrasonic region of the nozzle is noted. The effect of inclined shock waves on flow characteristics in the supersonic nozzle region and population inversion is studied.
