Abstract
Relations for the diffusion fluxes of vibrationally highly excited diatomic molecules are found by means of the Chapman-Enskog method. On the basis of these relations a quantitative estimate of the changes in the diffusion coefficients under vibrational excitation and the corresponding changes in the macroscopic dissociation rate is obtained under conditions of disequilibrium of the upper vibrational levels of the dissociating molecules caused by the diffusion processes. The diffusion relations obtained are used in deriving the boundary conditions for the equations of level vibrational kinetics. A simplified version of this derivation is presented for noncatalytic and catalytic surfaces.
