Abstract
A GREAT deal of experimental data on vibration-translation energy transfer in gases has been accumulated by means of ultra-sonic and shock-wave techniques; very little information exists, however, on the rates of intermolecular exchange of vibrational energy. Basco, Callear and Norrish1 have emphasized the probable importance of this effect in the relaxation of NO X2II with CO even though the energy discrepancy is as high as 266 cm−1. Lambert et al.2 have pointed out the importance of such processes in the vibrational relaxation of mixtures of hydrocarbons and concluded that transfer occurs at practically every collision. Similar conclusions were reached by Valley and Legvold3.
