The temperature of shock-heated carbon monoxide has been measured by an emission-absorption method using the infrared radiation of the fundamental band centred at 4·7 μm. Temperatures in the range 600 to 4000 K were measured. These limits were determined by the shock tube rather than the technique. Small discrepancies between the measured and theoretical temperatures are adequately accounted for by shock-tube effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
