Abstract

The nonequilibrium thermochemical processes must be studied in order to better predict aerodynamic and heat transfer characteristics of a hypersonic vehicle (see Chapter 6 of Ref. 1). The effect of nonequilibrium chemistry on convective heat transfer rates is well known, and therefore will not be considered here. Chemical phenomena affect aerodynamic characteristics of the hypersonic vehicles, especially their pitching moments and trim angles of attack. Radiative heat transfer in gases are very sensitively affected by the thermochemical processes in the gases.
