Shock Waves @ Marseille II Physico-Chemical Processes and Nonequilibrium Flow Proceedings of the 19th International Symposium on Shock Waves Held at Marseille, France, 26–30 July 1993

This volume deals with chemical kinetics of high-temperature shocked flows. The first papers describe the kinetics of many processes in gases and gas mixtures behind shock waves in shock tubes, including decomposition, oxidation, dissociation and various reactions, with the general purpose of measur...
