Description for Foundations of Gas Dynamics
hardcover. This reference includes an applications focus on jet and rocket propulsion systems that will be useful for students and engineers. Num Pages: 565 pages. BIC Classification: TGMF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 253 x 177. .
Foundations of Gas Dynamics covers supersonic and subsonic flow phenomena where compressibility of the fluid cannot be ignored. It finds application in jet and rocket propulsion systems as well as handling industrial gas flow at high speeds. Students and engineers in the mechanical, aerospace, and chemical disciplines will find it useful. It begins with basic concepts such as isentropic flows, shock, and supersonic expansion waves in one dimension. These are followed by one-dimensional flows with friction and heat exchange. Two-dimensional theory with small perturbations is presented, with its applications illustrated by supersonic airfoils. Method of characteristics is used for flows ... Read more
