Decoupling multimode vibrational relaxations in multi-component gas mixtures: Analysis of sound relaxational absorption spectra

摘要

Decoupling the complicated vibrational-vibrational (V-V) coupling of a multimode vibrational relaxation remains a challenge for analyzing the sound relaxational absorption in multi-component gas mixtures.In our previous work [Acta Phys.Sin.61 174301 (2012)],an analytical model to predict the sound absorption from vibrational relaxation in a gas medium is proposed.In this paper,we develop the model to decouple the V-V coupled energy to each vibrationaltranslational deexcitation path,and analyze how the multimode relaxations form the peaks of sound absorption spectra in gas mixtures.We prove that a multimode relaxation is the sum of its decoupled single-relaxation processes,and only the decoupled process with a significant isochoric-molar-heat can be observed as an absorption peak.The decoupling model clarifies the essential processes behind the peaks in spectra arising from the multimode relaxations in multi-component gas mixtures.The simulation validates the proposed decoupling model.
