Abstract

Dissociation rates of molecular nitrogen in electrical discharges have been calculated by solving a system of master equations, including V-V (vibration-vibration), V-T (vibrationtranslation) and e-V (electron-vibration) energy transfers. The results show that the dissociation rates slightly increase with decreasing gas temperature in the temperature range 1 000-2 000 K at the electron temperature Te = 20 000 K and electron density ne = 1012 cm-3. In these calculations, dissociation rates are two orders of magnitude greater than the corresponding rates obtained by direct electron impact.
