Shock-tube study of high-pressure H_(2)O spectroscopy

摘要

Water-vapor absorption features near 7117, 7185, and 7462 cm~(-1) were probed at pressures to 65 atm (1 atm ＝ 760 Torr) and temperatures to 1800 K in shock-heated mixtures of H_(2)O in Ne and Ar with a diode-laser source. Calculated absorbances based on Voigt line shapes and measured line parameters were in good agreement, within 10%, with measured absorbances at 7185.4 and 7117.4 cm~(-1). We obtained temperature-dependent N_(2) and Ar shift parameters for H_(2)O absorption features by shifting the calculated spectra to match the recorded absorption scan. Absorbance simulations based on line parameters from HITRAN and HITEMP were found to be similar over the range of temperatures 600-1800 K and were within 25% of the measurements. The combined use of Toth’s [Appl. Opt. 36, 4851 (1994)] line positions and strengths and HITRAN broadening parameters resulted in calculated absorption coefficients that were within 15% of the measurements at all three probed wavelengths.
