TEST TIMES IN SHOCK TUBES USING ARGON,

Abstract

Shock-tube test times taking into account the boundary layer growth in argon are calculated for a variety of tube diameters and initial gas pressures. In addition, the processes involved in establishing flow in a supersonic shock tunnel are discussed. The results of two calculation procedures for determining the starting time in a shock tunnel are compared for a specific example. (Author)
