Dynamics of relaxing gases /2nd edition/
Abstract
Nonequilibrium theory is examined, taking into account the Boltzmann equation, molecular velocities and fluxes, the equations of change, molecular collisions, Eucken-corrected thermal conductivity, elementary kinetic theory, chemical reactions and relaxation effects, and a model relaxing gas. Aspects of gasdynamics are investigated, giving attention to the propagation of sound, piston problems, flow problems, shock waves, the nonlinear theory of wave propagation, quasi-one-dimensional flow, accommodation effects, the energy flux through a pure polyatomic gas, and heat transfer through a flowing reacting mixture. Collision processes in hot gases are also discussed along with the vibrational relaxation of diatomic molecules and the dissociation, recombination, and reaction of diatomic molecules.
