The reactive, inelastic and dissociation vibrationally-detailed rate coefficients of the N+O2 collision processes, previously calculated by means of a QCT method, have been interpolated as a function of the initial and final vibrational levels and of the temperature, in the range 1000 – 20000 K. These rates have been implemented in a N2/N/O2/O/NO mixture state-to-state kinetic model. The model has been tested in a couple of applications. The first consists in its time evolution, for 10-3 s, from an equilibrium composition at 4000/3000K towards a new composition obtained by suddenly decreasing the temperature to 1000K. This is a preliminary study that could open the way to a new approach in the investigation of some biomedical applications governed by plasma sources at atmospheric pressure. The second test regards the boundary layer formed around the nose of a hypersonic vehicle in the framework of the fast transportation and space tourism applications.
In a world increasingly facing new challenges at the forefront of plasma scientific research and technological innovation, CNR and ISTP pledge progress and achieve an impact in the integration of research into societal practices and policy
