Surface recombination of dissociated atoms is studied behind a strong shock moving into a stationary diatomic gas. The chemically frozen laminar boundary layer is analyzed behind the moving shock. A solution is obtained for surface distribution of atoms and heat transfer when the atom concentration varies arbitrarily in the inviscid dissociating gas stream and, at the same time, the surface has an arbitrary but uniform catalycity. The applicability of the theory to the chemical diagnostics of shock tubes is studied.
