Abstract

The effect of the nonequilibrium velocity and rotation distributions of the dissociating molecules on the population of the upper vibrational levels and the dissociation rate, when the reaction kinetics are strongly influenced by the motion of the gas, is analyzed by solving the Boltzmann equation by a method permitting the calculation of the distribution function under conditions of strong disequilibrium.
