Download or read book Nitrogen Dioxide Absorption Coefficients at High Temperatures written by D. E. Paulsen and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The absorption coefficient of nitrogen dioxide, NO2, is used in models of the fireball resulting from atmospheric nuclear detonations. This report gives values for the absorption coefficient obtained at wavelengths between 380 and 760 nm and at temperatures between 669 and 1313 K. The absorption coefficient varies from a maximum of about 1/10 cm near 400 nm to about 1 cm at the longest wavelength observed. The results agree with previously published data, which were available for only a few wavelengths, and provide a comprehensive data set over the temperature and wavelength regions studied. Comparison of these results is made with NO2 thermal emission intensities. (Author).
