The Shock Tube In High Temperature Chemical Physics - Hardcover

The Shock Tube in High Temperature Chemical Physics by Alfred Gordon Gaydon is a comprehensive guide to the use of shock tubes in the study of high-temperature chemical reactions. The book covers the history and development of shock tubes, as well as the principles of gas dynamics and the measurement of high temperatures and pressures. It also provides detailed descriptions of the design and operation of various types of shock tubes, including single and double-walled tubes, and discusses the use of shock tubes in the study of chemical kinetics, spectroscopy, and other areas of high-temperature chemical physics. The book is intended for researchers and graduate students in the fields of chemistry, physics, and engineering who are interested in the study of high-temperature chemical reactions and the use of shock tubes as a research tool.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
