Abstract
Dissociation rates of N 2 in N 2-H 2 mixtures and of H 2 in Ar-H 2 mixtures have been calculated for conditions typical of gas discharges. The results have been obtained by solving a system of master equations including V-V (vibration-vibration), V-T (vibration-translation) and e-V (electron-vibration) energy exchanges. The results show that these rates are much smaller than the corresponding ones for pure gases, as a consequence of the increased importance of V-T processes. A simplified model, which takes into account the main features of the distribution of vibrational levels in an electrical discharge, has been built up to rationalize the present results as well as those derived in our previous work.
