DESCRIPTION:
Applications include wind tunnels, supersonic jet engine inlets, pilot tubes and shock tubes. The book contains a wealth of problems with answers, and may serve as a self-tutorial textbook. It is directed towards students in departments of mechanical and aeronautical engineering.. The book then considers one-dimensional, steady and isentropic flow; moving and reflected normal shock waves; one-dimensional and basic flow with friction in constant area duets; and oblique shock waves and Prandtl-Meyer expansion waves. It begins with a review of the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, and then introduces compressible fluid flow and the phenomenon of wave propagation. A full derivation of results is also provided. This text aims to provide senior undergraduate readers with a thorough understanding of the physical behaviour of compressible flow and a valuable appreciation of the principles behind the modern applications
"This is not a book; this is a treasure!!!" according to Muhammad A. AlMubarak. I strongly advise the students to buy this book immediately and without any hesitation. It is an outstanding book that covers a lot of concepts and explains them very well. Each chapter of this book is full of solved problems with full, clear, understandable solutions. These solved problems plus the questions given at the end of each chapter are among the questions my instructor gave us in his quizzes and major exams.Students will be very happy to know that the solutions to the questions given at the end of each. "comments: gas dynamics" according to DENIZ SOMER. The book, as the name indicates, covers introductary gas dynamics aspects from the very basic information about gases, how they behave under different geometries, temperatures and pressures to the utmost applications such as jet engines, funnels, etc. One does not need to be a mechanical engineer to understand the basics part, but, as the book is also a class-notes type, supervision may be necessary to cope with some complexities involved. The book contains very powerful appendices letting the engineer to solve
