Kinetic Model and Computer Simulation of Continuous Wave DF-CO(2) Chemical Transfer Lasers.
A nonequilibrium model has been used to simulate successfully experimental data obtained on two different DF-CO(2) chemical transfer lasers. The sensitivity of the model to changes in the reaction rate constants, to mixing, and to F atom surface recombination has been investigated. The model was found to provide reasonable agreement with the known experimental facts relating to cw DF-CO(2) chain reaction laser flow fields. It was found that considerable simplification of the chemical model is possible at the sacrifice of some analytical precision.
