NACA Technical Notes

Report presenting a theoretical analysis of air flow in a channel in which oxygen dissociation and recombination occur. An investigation is also made of the comparative relaxation times of the oxygen dissociation-recombination reaction in relation to molecular vibrations

A Review of the Thermodynamic, Transport, and Chemical Reaction Rate Properties of High-temperature Air

Thermodynamic and transport properties of high temperature air, and the reaction rates for the important chemical processes which occur in air, are reviewed. Semiempirical, analytic expressions are presented for thermodynamic and transport properties of air. Examples are given illustrating the use of these properties to evaluate (1) equilibrium conditions following shock waves, (2) stagnation region heat flux to a blunt high-speed body, and (3) some chemical relaxation lengths in stagnation region flow

Investigación futura en operaciones humanitarias: una perspectiva de operaciones conductuales

Behavioral operations have established itself as a mature field of research in operations and supply chain management. Since almost all operational contexts contain people (e.g., managers, employees and customers) who are prone to decision-making errors that can negatively impact performance, behavioral operations can inform models and frameworks in operations management to account for such shortcomings. In this chapter, we explore the application of different methodological tools used in behavioral operations to study behavior in humanitarian logistics and supply chain management (HLSCM). Specifically, the chapter will explore the use of behavioral experiments, system dynamics and agent-based modeling as methodologies to understand decision making in humanitarian operations
