Basics of Aerothermodynamics

Only the important symbols are listed. If a symbol appears only locally or infrequent, it is not included. In general the page number is indicated, where a symbol appears first or is defined. Dimensions are given in terms of the SI basic units: length [ L], time [ t], mass [ M], temperature [ T], and amount of substance [mole], Chapter 13. For actual dimensions and their conversions see Section 13.2.
