Download or read book Method for Calculating Effects of Dissociation on Flow Variables in the Relaxation Zone Behind Normal Shock Waves written by John S. Evans and published by . This book was released on 1956 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because the chemical reaction rates needed to predict the dependence of degree of dissociation on distance behind the shock are not known, order-of-magnitude estimates of their values have been used in a numerical example, the purpose of which is to illustrate the use of reaction-rate equations to predict relaxation time and distance behind the shock front.
