Abstract :
Detailed calculations of the coupled equations of nonequilibrium flow and the relevant molecular energy-exchange processes, have been carried out for a continuously operating CO2gas-dynamic laser system. Power outputs of about 100 kW/m length of nozzle throat at 1 percent efficiency with a small signal gain of 1 m-1are predicted.
