An experimental investigation of equilibrium conditions in a shock plasma Neufeld, Carl Richard
Abstract
Photoelectric measurements were made of the shock-excited spectrum of a mixture of helium and argon. The electron density behind the shock wave and the temperatures of the plasma components were deduced from the spectroscopic measurements, assuming thermal equilibrium conditions in the shock plasma. The two temperatures were in fairly good agreement, supporting the equilibrium assumption. On the other hand, the temperature and electron density differ significantly from values expected for a one-dimensional shock wave.
