Equilibrium Composition and Thermodynamic Properties of Air to 24,000*K

Forrest R. Gilmore

ResearchPublished 1955

Calculations on the composition, pressure, energy, and entropy of dry air at eleven temperatures between 1000 and 24,000*K and at eight det densities between 10-* and 10 times normal density. The ideal-gas internal energies and free energies of twenty-nine different molecules, atoms, and ions are discussed, and Hugoniot (shock wave) curves for air at various initial densities are considered.
