Description: A collection of charts is presented for the equilibrium properties of air in several flow situations of interest in hypersonic flow. The cases considered are: (a) flow over bodies in flight at hypersonic speeds: normal and oblique shocks; (b) flow over bodies in shock tubes: this includes moving, standing, and reflected normal shocks as well as oblique shocks. A Mollier diagram is also included.
