Abstrakt: The laser schlieren method has been used behind shock waves where the temperatures are 410–2400°K to measure the vibrational relaxation times for N2O and also for mixtures of N2O with CO, N2, and Ar. The vibrational relaxational times of N2O have been measured for collisions with these partners, and it has been found that the effectiveness of N2 in relaxation is close to that of N2O, whereas CO results in accelerated vibrational relaxation of N2O. A comparison is made with the available published data.
