- p11 Apollo reentry Mach 36
- p19 M36 15 degree cone, 3 degree shock layer
calorically perfect gas, γ = cp/cv = 1.4 ratio of specific heats
p21 boundary layer thickness
∝M∞2
sqrtRex Rex is the local Reynolds number- p22 Reynolds number ... per foot?
- p23 Apollo reentry Mach 36, 52 km altitude, 11000 Kelvin (40x denser than 80 km, 1200x denser than 100 km)
- p24 chemically reacting gas is colder
- p25 O₂ dissociates at 2000K to 4000K, N₂ 4000K to 9000K, above that ions
p25 convective heating
qc , radiative heatingqr 30% for Apollo- p26 100 km, low density flow, "velocity slip" and "temperature slip" at surface
- p26 higher still, not continuum, use kinetic theory. At 150 km, free molecular regime
p27 Knudsen number,
Kn= where \lambda = mean free path, L = characteristic length
L Kn 0.001? to 0.3 Navier-Stokes
p29 p surface pressure, \tau shear stress
