| Description | Results are presented of an experimental and theoretical investigation of the use of equilibrium hexafluoroethane C2F6 as an undissociated test gas in a wind tunnel to simulate the inviscid aerodynamic characteristics of blunt bodies in high-speed flight where dissociation occurs. The results indicate that the use of C2F6 as a test gas in wind tunnels is a practical and relatively simple and inexpensive method of obtaining test conditions with large normal-shock density ratios. Equations for the thermodynamic and transport properties of C2F6 are also included. |
