Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Heat Conduction in Air, Including Effects of Oxygen Dissociation

Download or read book Theoretical and Experimental Investigation of Heat Conduction in Air, Including Effects of Oxygen Dissociation written by C. Frederick Hansen and published by . This book was released on 1959 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solutions are presented for the conduction of heat through a semi-infinite gas medium having a uniform initial temperature and a constant boundary temperature. The coefficients of thermal conductivity and diffusivity are treated as variables, and the solutions are extended to the case of air at temperatures where oxygen dissociation occurs. These solutions are used together with shock-tube measurements to evaluate the integral of thermal conductivity for air as a function of temperature.
