Based on thermal plasma emission, we have estimated the shock velocities which produced the hot plasma in N132D. The resultant velocities are generally lower than those directly measured by a proper motion measurement, partly reaching a factor of four discrepancy. This may suggest that a large fraction of the shock kinetic energy was transferred to particle acceleration. (ADS)
