Relaxation of the V = 4,5,6,7, Sigma g/+/ vibrational levels of carbon monoxide studied by laser absorption.The vibrational relaxation of individual vibration rotation levels of carbon monoxide behind incident shock waves of carbon monoxide has been studied by the method of laser absorption. For the particular vibrational states (V = 4 to 7) and temperature range (2500 to 5500 K) studied, it is concluded that the characteristic relaxation times are in excellent agreement with those obtained via previous measurements of 'bulk' gas properties. Further, the data furnish strong corroboration of the idea that the individual levels are in Boltzmann vibrational equilibrium during the relaxation process.
