    vehicle which is detached from its nose. It is subjected to wide range of pressure, heat transfer and shear levels. The shock encounters the conversion of a large amount of kinetic energy into thermal energy. This large energy density results in high temperature of the gas mixture where dissociation and ionization takes place. The plasma flow is created which impinges on the vehicle wall. To sustain this immense amount of heat transfer the space craft must be equipped with suitable Thermal Protection System

    were originally used to clean up the dust-laden gases leaving simple dry process kilns. If, instead, the entire feed of rawmix is encouraged to pass through the cyclone, it is found that a very efficient heat exchange takes place: the gas is efficiently cooled, hence producing less waste of heat to the atmosphere, and the rawmix is efficiently heated. This efficiency is further increased if a number of cyclones are connected in series The number of cyclones stages used in practice varies from 1

    The van der Waals model: not used for quantitative analysis but rather to predict the liquid-gas phase transformations for pure substances and critical point. 2.5.1 Thermodynamic Laws Zeroth Law There First Law U=Q±W where U is internal energy, Q is heat transfer, and W is work done by the system. I still find this less convenient that U = Q + W where W is work done on the system (positive) as opposed to work done by the system. The end result is the same, I just find keeping track of the sign more
