The flows of CO ₂/CO/O ₂/O/C and CO ₂/CO/O mixtures behind shock waves are studied in the three-temperature, two-temperature and one-temperature approximations. The influence of the vibrational relaxation and chemical reactions on the flow composition, temperature and velocity is investigated. It is shown that the vibrational non-equilibrium has a significant effect on the macroscopic parameters of the flow near the front of the shock wave. It was found that the composition of the mixture has the greatest effect on the numerical density of CO molecules and O atoms. Also, significant differences between the values of the vibrational temperature of the asymmetric regime have been revealed.
