Multitemperature kinetic model for heat transfer in reacting gas mixture flows

Heat transfer in a high temperature reacting gas flow is investigated taking into account the influence of strong vibrational and chemical nonequilibrium. Rapid and slow vibrational energy exchanges in a mixture of molecular gases with realistic molecular spectra are taken into account and the deviation from the Boltzmann distribution over vibrational levels is studied. A kinetic theory approach is developed for the modeling of transport properties of a reacting mixture of polyatomic gases and a generalized multitemperature model is given. This theoretical model is applied for the analysis of the heat transfer and diffusion behind a strong shock wave propagating in air. The heat conductivity, diffusion coefficients, and heat flux are calculated on the basis of this model and compared to the one-temperature approach. The influence of anharmonicity of molecular vibrations is evaluated.
