| 1 |  | Thermodynamics of ionizing air | Isaacson, LaVar King | aerodynamics; aerothermodynamics | The development of means of producing high energy flow systems in the last few years has created many flow situations which do not lend themselves to present-day methods and techniques for analysis. The thermodynamic behavior of high temperature flow systems is thus receiving extensive study. Recent... | 1962 |
