Abstract
An analytic model explaining the dependence of the mean energy transferred in a collision on the initial energy of the molecule was developed. The conclusions from the theory were verified for the example of energy transfer by SO2 and CS2 molecules in collisions with various buffer particles. A method for determining collision numbers characterizing the attainment of equilibrium in vibrational relaxation was suggested.
