Book Description
This book is a self-contained text for those students and readers interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. It assumes no prior familiarity with either subject on the part of the reader. If you have never studied hypersonic and/or high-temperature gas dynamics before, and if you have never worked extensively in the area, then this book is for you. On the other hand, if you have worked and/or are working in these areas, and you want a cohesive presentation of the fundamentals, a development of important theory and techniques, a discussion of the salient results with emphasis on the physical aspects, and a presentation of modern thinking in these areas, then this book is also for you. In other words, this book is designed for two roles: 1) as an effective classroom text that can be used with ease by the instructor, and understood with ease by the student; and 2) 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.

Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This study was undertaken in response to a request by the U.S. Air Force that the National Research Council (NRC) examine whether the technologies that underlie the concept of a hypersonic, air-launched, air-breathing, hydrocarbon-fueled missile with speeds up to Mach 81 can be demonstrated in time to be initially operational by 2015. To conduct the study, the NRC appointed the Committee on Review and Evaluation of the Air Force Hypersonic Technology Program, under the auspices of the Air Force Science and Technology Board.

Hypersonic
Author: Dennis R. Jenkins
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781580071314
Category : Aerodynamics, Hypersonic
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Nineteen years before Space Shuttle, the small, black, rocket-powered, bullet-shaped X-15 showed it was possible to fly into - and out of - space. There had never been anything like the X-15; it had a million-horsepower engine and could fly twice as fast as a rifle bullet. The X-15 set records that stood for years. Specialty Press's bestseller, Hypersonic, has been re-released in a softbound format at a reduced price. This book is the most extensively researched history of the X-15 program yet published. The book was written with the cooperation of surviving X-15 pilots as well as many other program principals and is based on six years of research in Air Force, NASA, and North American archives. It covers the tasks of converting and testing the B-52 carrier airplanes, building the first full-pressure suits to protect the pilot, building the first engineering mission simulators, acquiring the remote lakebed landing sites, and building the radar range. It also covers the flight program in detail, including the most authoritative flight log ever assembled; in many instances, information in this log was derived from the original flight-data recordings. Also covered are each of the experiments that were flown aboard the X-15 late in its career when it became the workhorse of the space program, carrying such things as startrackers destined for the Apollo program and missile-detection systems that would later be sent into orbit on satellites.

Book Description
The Ideal Text/Reference for Students, Engineers, and Research Scientists Not since the early days of space flight has the subject of hypersonic flow been of such importance to aerospace and mechanical engineers, research scientists, and students. Spurred by visions of hypersonic transport, and aerospace planes, the government now supports studies of hypersonic flow in at least eighteen graduate research centers across the nation, and numerous major universities now offer graduate and senior level undergraduate courses on the subject. Hypersonic Flow is the ideal text/reference for students and professionals interested in this burgeoning field. Written by a nationally recognized authority on the subject, it features a clear, accessible writing style along with sufficient depth and detail for self-study, and it is organized for speedy location of specific information. Numerous end-of-chapter exercises and homework problems enhance and solidify the student’s understanding of complex and sophisticated material. This book provides an in-depth look at all the major topics and issues associated with fluid flow at speeds in excess of Mach 5, including: elementary hypersonic flow problems; general similarity concepts; elements of hypersonic small disturbance theory; and much more. In addition, this book brings you: The most extensive coverage of viscous effects available anywhere A unique, in-depth presentation of waveriders Extensive treatment of asymmetric conical flows An introduction to computational fluid dynamics Extensive treatment of real-gas effects

Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 327
Book Description
Classic and High-Enthalpy Hypersonic Flows presents a complete look at high-enthalpy hypersonic flow from a review of classic theories to a discussion of future advances centering around the Born-Oppenheim approximation, potential energy surface, and critical point for transition. The state-of-the-art hypersonic flows are defined by a seamless integration of the classic gas dynamic kinetics with nonequilibrium chemical kinetics, quantum transitions, and radiative heat transfer. The book is intended for graduate students studying advanced aerodynamics and taking courses in hypersonic flow. It can also serve as a professional reference for practicing aerospace and mechanical engineers of high-speed aerospace vehicles and propulsion system research, design, and evaluation. Features Presents a comprehensive review of classic hypersonic flow from the Newtonian theory to blast wave analogue. Introduces nonequilibrium chemical kinetics to gas dynamics for hypersonic flows in the high-enthalpy state. Integrates quantum mechanics to high-enthalpy hypersonic flows including dissociation and ionization. Covers the complete heat transfer process with radiative energy transfer for thermal protection of earth reentry vehicle. Develops and verifies the interdisciplinary governing equations for understanding and analyzing realistic hypersonic flows.
