With a strong emphasis on the basic concepts and problem-solving skills, this text is suitable for a course on Gas Dynamics/Compressible Flows/High-speed
Aero-dynamics at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels in aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering and applied physics.
The elegant and concise style of the book, along with illustrations and worked examples, makes it eminently suitable for self-study by scientists and engineers
working in the field of gas dynamics in industries and research laboratories.
Concise coverage of the thermodynamic concepts to serve as a revision of the background material.
Logical and systematic treatment of fundamental aspects of gas dynamics, waves in the supersonic regime and gas dynamic processes.
In-depth presentation of potential equations for compressible flows, similarity rule and two-dimensional compressible flows.
Solution Manual for instructors containing the complete worked-out solutions to chapter-end problems.
Some vital aspects associated with the compression and expansion waves are explained, with suitable worked numerical examples.
A brief section on critical Mach number is added in Chapter 8, highlighting its influence on the aerodynamic efficiency of flying mechanics.
Nozzle flow process has been illustrated with worked examples focusing on the design and application aspects.
A considerable number of worked examples are added, focusing attention on the design aspects.
Some new problems along with answers are added at the end of many chapters.
