Abstract
The opacity and thermodynamic properties of air at temperatures above 10 eV and densities below normal have been calculated in accordance with the prescriptions given in Methods of Opacity Calculations by H. Mayer, AECD-1870 ( LA-647). Corresponding to given densities and temperatures, self-consistent distributions of electrons in bound states and their eigenenergies are determined. With this information we compute the thermodynamic properties of air and the frequency-dependent absorption coefficients. The Rosseland opacity—a weighted average of the absorption coefficient—is calculated showing the effects of argon and the ionic lines.
