A note on the compression of air through repeated shock waves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 March 2006
Abstract
The results of calculations of the compression of air by repeated shock waves are compared with the perfect-gas values given by Evans & Evans (1956). The comparison emphasizes the increasing divergence of real from perfect-gas results as shock strengths are raised. The equations relating conditions across a shock wave are obtained in a convenient form for solution using a Mollier diagram.
