Abstract

Report presenting the thermodynamic and transport properties of high-temperature air in closed form starting from approximate partition functions for the major components in air and neglecting all minor components. The compressibility, energy, entropy, specific heats, speed of sound, coefficients of viscosity and thermal conductivity, and Prandtl numbers for air are provided for a range of temperatures and pressures.
