In the experimental and theoretical study of energy transfer processes which involve some of the above mechanisms, one should distingiush processes in atoms and small molecules and in large polyatomic molecules. For small molecules a frill theoretical quantum treatment is possible and even computer program packages are available [, and ], with full state to state characterization. A good example are rotational energy transfer theory and experiments on Fie + CO [M] ... 

My own research efforts [4] have, for many years, involved taking into account such non-Bom-Oppen-heimer couplings, especially in cases where vibration/rotation energy transferred to electronic motions causes...

Thus, the energy per unit mass increases with radius r and is independent of depth In the absence of an agitator or mechanical means of rotation energy transfer will take place to equalise j/ between all elements of fluid. Thus the forced vortex tends to decay into a free vortex (where energy per unit mass is independent of radius).

Collision induced rotational energy transfer. A new scaling law probed by fs CARS... 

Pressure dependent fs-CARS spectra for different colliding species are presented and successfully fitted by using the novel AECS scaling law for rotational energy transfer. The model provides as main fit parameter the relevant interaction time of the colliding molecules Tc, which is compared to a numerical calculation derived from the interaction potential.
