5.9. RESULTS & DISCUSSION tion from CO2(v32) to CO2(v31) (reaction VT8). Rate-coefficient of VT7 is higher than VT6, because the energy difference between CO2(v4) and CO2(v31) is only 0.04 eV as opposed to 0.21 eV of the corresponding reactants in VT6 (please refer to tables 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 in chapter 4). In this equation, diffusion and other processes such as dissociative electron attachment of CO2(v31) as their rates are found to be very small. Though the rate-coefficients of VT relaxation are less than 10āˆ’15cm3sāˆ’1, the rates itself are signific- ant because of the high pressure. The relative importance of each of the terms determines the spatio-temporal evolution of CO2(v31) density and to understand this, each term of RHS of equation 5.11 to the total rate at one location namely, d0 have been plotted in figure 5.9. The electron impact excitation is the most important at this location, at the instant when filament occurs, and it is the fastest process that changes the density of CO2(v31), while all the other processes respond to change induced by it. The electron impact de- excitation of CO2(v32) is also a very important process, which shows that once signific- ant amount of CO2(v32) are created the act as source for CO2(v31) back. From figure 5.9, among loss processes, it is clear that VT relaxation to CO2(v4) has the highest rate at any given time, followed by VV transfer to CO2(v32). Between VV transfer to, and VT relaxation from CO2(v32), to the density of CO2(v31) clearly the former dominates when the plasma is on, reversing only at long times after plasma has been switched off. From these rates it can be concluded that at atmospheric pressure, and for the calcu- lated CO2(v31) densities VV transfer though significant but is not the dominating pro- cess. However, by decreasing the pressures, the VT rates can be decreased and thereby increase the importance of VV transfer. The highest rates of VV transfer are at d0 and d1, as the maximum n1 is reached at these locations, which explains the trends in figure 5.8b. At t0, all destruction processes become slow when compared with the periodic state and as a result, the variation in n1, dn1 becomes smaller. Consequently the effective dt life time of CO2(v31) increases which can be seen in figure 5.8a. If we assume that, electron kinetics are not affected by VV transfer, then for a given n1 and from figure 5.9, it can be seen that the rate coefficient of VV2 can become the dominant process only if the rate coefficient is higher than the one used for this model, or at significantly higher densities of n1. Another important inference from figures 5.8 and 5.9 is that even though rates of destruction of CO2(v31) are really high, it takes longer time-scales to reduce the density significantly. For example, the characteristic time of reaction VT7 is in the range of milliseconds. Although maximum amount of electron energy is transferred into CO2(v31) at low 137
