Gas-dynamic and chemical-kinetic equations have been used in simulating CO/sub 2/ dissociation in a supersonic flow of nonequilibrium plasma. The energy performance and the degree of conversion of CO/sub 2/ have been related to the specific energy deposition in the vibrational degrees of freedom. It is shown that the degree of conversion may attain about 30% in a constant-pressure reactor with comparatively small expansion angles.
