Hypersonic and High-Temperature Gas Dynamics (Aiaa Education)

This book is designed for two roles:

As an effective classroom text that can be used with ease by the instructor, and understood with ease by the student

As a viable, professional working tool for engineers, scientists, and managers who have any contact in their jobs with hypersonic and/or high-temperature flow This third edition has been updated throughout and features new figures and examples, along with a user-friendly interior design.
