ME356 Hypersonics Lecture 3: The Physical Characteristics of Hypersonic Flows (II)

Recordings of the lectures of the "ME356 Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics" graduate class at Stanford, Spring 2020. Lecture 3: The Physical Characteristics of Hypersonic Flows (II), by Dr. Javier Urzay. Topics covered in this lecture: The heat barrier Velocity / altitude diagrams of hypersonic flight systems (X-51A, X-43A, X-15, HiFIRE, Apollo, Shuttle Orbiter) Characteristic kinetic energies and temperatures in hypersonic flows The role of the recovery of thermal energy behind hypersonic shock waves Thermochemical effects in hypersonic flight envelopes Characteristic heat fluxes acting on re-entry systems Isentropic flows -The Bernoulli equation for compressible flows To watch the other lectures, see playlist:    • Stanford ME356 Hypersonic Aerothermodynami...   Class website: https://web.stanford.edu/~jurzay/ME356
