A viscous shock layer method has been developed which includes the effects of chemical and thermal nonequilibrium and is coupled with a radiation analysis which includes thermodynamic nonequilibrium effects. This code has been used to obtain solutions for a wide variety of nonequilibrium re-entry conditions in air. The results are tabulated and displayed graphically. Comparisons are made to similar results obtained for radiatively coupled equilibrium flow and conclusions drawn on the effect of nonequilibrium and in particular thermodynamic nonequilibrium on the radiative environment about re-entry vehicles.
