Download or read book Chemical Kinetics and Fluid Mechanical Aspects of Gas Lasers written by WASHINGTON UNIV SEATTLE AEROSPACE RESEARCH LAB. and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of reducing the ratio of CO2 to N2 was primarily studied. A program of measurement of gain in expanding CO2 laser mixtures at high pressure was carried out. Improved energy storage capability was successfully demonstrated through small signal gain measurements taken in a shock tube. This experimental approach allows the measurement of gain with various mixture ratios over a wide range of pressure conditions.
