Computed Electron, Ion, and Neutral Density Profiles for the Solar Eclipse of 12 November 1966


Book Description

A general computer model of the ionospheric behavior during a solar eclipse is briefly described. Solutions are generated for 15 ionospheric species during the solar eclipse of 12 November 1966. These solutions are for altitudes from 60 to 120 kilometers, and include both neutral and charged species. (Author).

Solutions of Reaction Rate Equations Pertaining to Electron Irradiation of 4:1 Mixtures of N2 and O2


Book Description

One of the Keneshea computer codes (see AD-424 173) was adapted for use on the Ballistic Research Laboratories Electronic Scientific Computer. Using this modified code, reaction rate equations were solved for the following 15 species: e, NO2( - ), O( - ), O2( - ), O3( - ), N2(+), NO(+), O(+), O2(+), N, NO, N2O, NO2, O, and O3. The calculations were made for a 4:1 mixture of N2 and O2 at 1 torr total pressure and 300K. Rate constants as given by Keneshea and Fowler (see AD-646 975) were used. The solutions are presented as number densities versus time after the start of the irradiating electron beam. A description of the modified code is presented. (Author).
