Vibrational relaxation times of gaseous mixtures of diatomic molecules and their effect on rocket performance
The present methods available for the determination of the magnitudes of the vibrational relaxation times of molecules are discussed and the recently developed theory of Schwartz, Slawsky, and Herzfeld is used to compute the variation with temperature of the collisional vibrational excitation probab...
