Abstract
The paper deals with modeling of vibration-chemical coupling in mixtures containing CO2 molecules. The temporal vibrational and chemical relaxation in the five-component and three-component space-homogeneous mixtures CO2/CO/O2/C/O and CO2/CO/O is studied taking into account vibrational energy transitions, dissociation, recombination and exchange chemical reactions. The vibrational-chemical coupling in considered mixtures is studied on the basis of three-temperature, two-temperature and one-temperature vibrational CO2 distributions. Governing equations for macroscopic mixture parameters in the three-temperature, two-temperature and one-temperature approximations are solved numerically for different initial conditions. Comparison of the results obtained in three approaches showed the in uence of non-equilibrium vibrational distributions on chemical reaction rates and on the temporal variation of the gas temperature, mixture composition and vibrational temperatures in two considered mixtures. The role of exchange chemical reactions in relaxation processes is also discussed in the paper.
