National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Charts of Normal Shock Wave Properties in Imperfect Nitrogen.

AD600844

Publication Date	1964
Personal Author	Lewis, C. H.; Burgess, E. G.
Page Count	56
Abstract	Gas-dynamic properties which include the effects of dissociation, ionization, and intermolecular forces (van der Walls) are presented for incident and reflected shock waves in equilibrium imperfect nitrogen. Charts are presented for incident shock Mach numbers in the range from 4 to 30 into (ideal) nitrogen at a temperature of 300 K and pressures in the range from 0.0010 to 10000 cm Hg. The temperature and density in any region do not exceed, respectively, 15,000 K and 150 amagats. In addi tion to the usual incident and reflected shock properties, stagnation conditions upstream and downstream and conditions immediately downstream of a standing shock wave are also presented. At pressures above one atmosphere in the undisturbed gas, the effects of the intermolecular forces on the gasdynamic properties are demonstrated. (Author)
