EQUILIBRIUM THERMODYNAMIC PROPERTIES OF AIR BEHIND INCIDENT NORMAL SHOCK WAVES
Abstract
The equilibrium temperature, density, and pressure of air behind incident normal shock waves have been calculated. The resulting tables include the effects of chemical reactions, excitation, dissociation, ionization, van der Waal and Coulomb forces. The tables are presented as functions of the ratio of the density behind the shock wave to the density at standard conditions in steps of 0.2. The temperature behind the shock wave T2 is a parameter which ranges from 2000K to 16,000K in 1000K steps. Two sets of tables, for initial conditions of 273.15 and 300.0K, are presented. The densities of air, as a real and as an ideal gas, are compared.
