Abstract:Oblique shock relations for dissociated air in thermodynamic equilibrium have been calculated for a free stream flow Mach number of 7.8 in the test section with an equilibrium stagnation temperature of 7200 R in the reservoir. The results for the density, pressure and temperature ratios, and flow deflection across the shock wave are presented as functions of the shock wave angle. Complete equilibrium has been assumed in the calculations, utilizing the best available thermodynamic properties of air for the regi… Show more
“…The free stream Mach number and the ratio of specific heats 7 = 1.4 were used to calculate the pressure ratio across the shock wave from an oblique shock relationship. Since the free stream temperature in the test section is 810 R for a reflected stagnation temperature of 7200 R, the ratio of specific heats of 1.4 is valid as long as the shock wave angle is not large (28).…”

“…By measuring the shock wave angle from the Schlieren photograph as a function of the distance from the leading edge, the pressure ratio across the shock can be calculated by using the oblique shock wave relationship for perfect gas, as well as for real gas with thermodynamic equilibrium (28). From the leading edge the pressure ratio across the shock wave increased with X up to "a peak value corresponding to the maximum shock wave angle.…”
