Overview
This new text provides clear explanations of the physical phenomena encountered in compressible fluid flow by providing more practical applications, more worked examples, and more detail about the underlying assumptions than other texts. Its broad topic coverage includes a thorough review of the fundamentals, a wide array of applications, and unique coverage of hypersonic flow. This is the ideal text for compressible fluid flow or gas dynamics courses found in mechanical or aerospace engineering programs.Editorials
Booknews
Explains the physical phenomena encountered in compressible fluid flow, with seven chapters on fundamentals, four chapters on applications, and five chapters on advanced topics. Focusing on theory and underlying assumptions, coverage includes equations of steady one-dimensional compressible fluid flow, flow with heat addition or removal, hypersonic flow, and low density flows. Contains worked examples and many problems, including computer problems. A software program for calculations is available from the publisher's Web site. For senior undergraduate and graduate courses in mechanical and aerospace engineering programs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
