Electron beam flourescence measurements in low density free jets of heated nitrogenRotational temperatures have been measured in heated free jet expansions of low density nitrogen using the electron beam flourescence technique. Spectroscopic measurements of the (0,0) band of the first negative system of nitrogen revealed the rotational nonequilibrium behavior in the flow field upstream of and through the Mach disk, as well as the flow field farther downstream. These results are compared to free jet expansion data and computations regarding Mach disk location and terminal rotational temperature. Comparisons indicate a rotational relaxation-collision number of about 3. Both measurements and calculations show that these flow fields are generated from stagnation conditions of 240 to 475 Torr-mm and 700 to 1325 K. Results are also presented for shock thickness based on rotational temperature.
