FAQ

What is the Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy?
The Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy is the total enthalpy of a gas at the wall of a hypersonic vehicle, considering the heat transfer and friction effects. Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram for Specific Energy. Note that the value of Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy is always positive.
Can the Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy be negative?
No, the Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy, measured in Specific Energy cannot be negative.
What unit is used to measure Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy?
Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram[J/kg] for Specific Energy. Joule per Gram[J/kg], Joule per Centigram[J/kg], Square Meter per Square Second[J/kg] are the few other units in which Adiabatic Wall Enthalpy can be measured.
