Fundamentals of Gas Dynamics 2nd edn

This book is intended for Undergraduate and First year Post graduate students in the disciplines of Mechanical and Aerospace engineering. Also scientists and engineers working in the areas of aerospace propulsion and gas dynamics should find this book to be a valuable addition to their collection of books on the subject matter. This edition of the book incorporates changes in the development of the material new material and figures as well as more end of chapter problems in all the chapter.The unique feature of this edition is the addition of a chapter on the gas dynamics of the flow of steam in nozzles. In keeping with the spirit of the first edition the worked examples and exercise problems have almost all been drawn from practical applications in propulsion and gas dynamics. These are comprehensive and are formulated to test the understanding of the subject matter and thus serve as a selfcheck for the reader.ContentsIntroduction  One Dimensional Flows - Basics  Normal Shock Wavesï ï¬ Flow with Heat Addition- Rayleigh Flow  Flow with Friction - Fanno Flow  Quasi One Dimensional Flows  Oblique Shock Waves  Prandtl Meyer Flow  Flow of Steam through Nozzlesï ï¬ Exercises  Suggested Reading  Index
