“…The nonequilibrium dissociation rate constants (T v = T 2 ) were obtained for several high-temperature regimes T 0 = 10,820, 10,400, 9,400, and 8,620 K. Uncertainty of rate constant was evaluated using scatter of measured data: -lg k d = ±0.15. As can be seen from the ¦gure, the values of thermal nonequilibrium dissociation rate constants k d determined in this study are less than data of [4] (curve 1) and much less than [5] (curve 2). The equilibrium values k d obtained for the regimes with T 0 = 9,400, 8,620, and 6,470 K coincide with curve 2 corresponding to the equilibrium values of k 0 d (T = T v ) recommended in [5].…”
