Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics (AIAA Education Series)

Excellent reference source for estimating re-entry heat loads. After reading the text you are left with the feeling that you 'have a good handle on the subject matter'. That's about the best you can say for this kind of book. The few examples that cover stagnation point temperature estimation have a few steps that could be expanded to better illustrate where the numbers came from and how they are used. No complains here. though.
