From page 72...
... Thus if NO were always to maintain thermochemical equilibrium, its concentration would reach a maximum when the temperature in and around the discharge tube was ~ 4000 K and would then decrease to a negligibly small value as the heated air cooled to ambient temperatures. However, similar to the equilibrium NO concentration, the time, TNo, required to establish thermochemical equilibrium for NO also varies with temperature.
