Subject Area

Aerospace Engineering

Course Description

This course provides the basic knowledge of the kinetic theory of gases, chemical thermodynamics and statistical mechanics. These analytical tools will then be applied to the study of equilibrium gas properties over wide temperature ranges, the kinetics of physical and chemical reactions, and the interaction of matter with radiation. The course material is useful in studies of combustion chemistry, high temperature and rarefied gas dynamics, low temperature plasmas, hypersonics, gas diagnostics with lasers, etc.
