The Supersaturation of Nitrogen in a Hypersonic Wind Tunnel

Tests in a small hypersonic wind tunnel have determined critical temperature and pressure conditions for the condensation of pure dry nitrogen and have indicated that in the range of pressure (0.5–2.8 mm Hg) and temperature (52°–64°R) obtained in the tests, there is a supersaturation of about 30 Fah...

Summary:Tests in a small hypersonic wind tunnel have determined critical temperature and pressure conditions for the condensation of pure dry nitrogen and have indicated that in the range of pressure (0.5–2.8 mm Hg) and temperature (52°–64°R) obtained in the tests, there is a supersaturation of about 30 Fahrenheit degrees.
