PROCEDURE OF CALCULATION OF THE OPTICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SELECTIVELY RADIATING GASES
M. L. Germana, D. Lempertb, V. P. Nekrasova, and E. F. Nogotova UDC 536.34:535.36 The efficiency and correctness of the procedure of calculation of the optical characteristics of selectively radiating and absorbing media proposed by the authors earlier and making it possible to take into account with a high degree of accuracy the fine structure of the absorption line is illustrated with the example of calculation of a number of standard problems of radiative transfer. The reliability of calculation of the absorption coefficient (averaged over a finite spectral interval) of a selective medium is evaluated based on the comparison of the results obtained to the experimental and theoretical data given in the literature. a A.
