Abstract
Particle times of flight in incident shock flow were determined experimentally by marking several positions of the test gas (mainly Ar) in the shock tube with an infrared emitting gas (NO or CO~2~). From the local particle velocity, derived from the particle flight times, temperature and pressure changes behind the shock front were evaluated. Several experimental data were found to be correctly described by Mirels's formulations when used properly. The limitations of the formulations are discussed. It is found to be advisable to evaluate boundaryβlayer effects on shockβtube flow by experiments, rather than theory, in carrying out chemical kinetics studies.
