Temperature-dependent measurements and modeling of absorption by CO2-N2 mixtures in the far line-wings of the 4.3μm CO2 band

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We present experimental results on the absorption by CO2-N2 mixtures in the 4.3 μm region. Measurements have been made in the 300-800 K and 0-60 bar ranges; these are in good agreement with previous determinations below 296 K. Frequency- and temperature-dependent factors χ are introduced in order to account for the subLorentzian behavior of the CO2 far line-wings. Their dependences on temperature are deduced from experimental results beyond the 4.3μm band-head in the 193-773 K range for both CO2-CO2 and CO2-N2 and fitted by simple analytical functions. Comparisons are presented between experimental and theoretical spectra on both the low- and high-frequency sides of the band (2100-2600 cm-1 range). It is shown that calculations using χ factors are inaccurate near line-centers at elevated pressures.
