Infrared Emissivity of NO in High-Temperature Air

Abstract

The emissivity treatment developed by Mayer has been modified herein for specific application to rotation‐vibration spectra. In order to obtain the oscillator strengths requisite to such a calculation, an earlier developed calculation of the vibrational matrix elements of NO has been utilized. The emissivity of an equilibrium distribution of NO in high‐temperature air has been calculated for one layer thickness and several values of temperature and pressure. This emissivity calculation has been programed on the IBM 704 electronic data processing machine.
