PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY IN AERODYNAMICS AND SPACE FLIGHT

by Myerson, A. L. and A. C. Harrison

New York, 1961: Pergamon Press, Inc., 288 pages, $17.00

This work, from Volume 3 of the Journal of Planetary and Space Science, is divided into four sections dealing with surface and solid phase reactions, gas phase reactions and kinetics, experimental methods and simulation, and thermodynamic and transport properties of gases. As its title suggests, the book deals with a direct application of physical chemistry to both aerodynamics and space flight. It is based on a conference held at the University of Pennsylvania in the Fall of 1959, by the Space Sciences Laboratory of General Electric's Missile and Space Vehicle Department and the US Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
