Summary

The curvature of an attached shock wave and the flow variable gradients at the tip of a straight edged wedge caused by non-equilibrium effects are determined for a steady plane flow. The specific source of non-equilibrium effects considered here is the dissociation-recombination reaction in a symmetrical diatomic gas. An oxygen like idea dissociating gas is used as an example in calculating the desired quantities. The qualitative behaviour of the exact results is compared with those obtained by using approximate methods.
