Gas Dynamics, 3/e
For junior/senior/first-year graduate courses in Gas Dynamics or Compressible Flow, in departments of mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering.
In print for over 30 years, this classic text’s Third Edition offers many new features and enhancements that result in a stronger, more comprehensive treatment. It aims to foster a deeper understanding of compressible flow and gas dynamics fundamentals. Material is presented in a manner that helps bridge the gap between sophomore- or junior-level courses in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, as well as advanced courses in propulsion, turbo-machinery, energy conversion, advanced fluid mechanics, and advanced aerodynamics.

Salient Features
- NEW - A chapter capstone application section is included in the first 10 chapters.
- NEW — The book makes exclusive use of spreadsheet computations (a first in books on gas dynamics).
- Spreadsheet programs eliminate or at least minimize dependence on the use of tables and charts (along with the laborious table look-up and interpolation procedures required to solve gas dynamics problems).
- An appendix is included that provides details to assist with the development of spreadsheet solvers (it allows the student to develop an equation to use within spreadsheets such as Excel)
- Many example problems are included in each chapter. Every example problem is prefaced with a title, which provides a brief indication of the objective of the problem
