The Flow of Compressible Fluids

This book provides a comprehensive introduction to compressible fluid flow, a branch of fluid dynamics that deals with the flow of fluids at speeds that are high enough to cause significant changes in fluid density. This occurs when the fluid velocity approaches the speed of sound in the fluid, which is approximately 343 meters per second (1,235 kilometers per hour or 767 miles per hour) at room temperature and pressure. Compressible fluid flow is encountered in many applications, including aircraft design, rocket propulsion, gas turbines, and compressors.
The book covers the fundamental concepts of compressible fluid flow, as well as the governing equations and solution methods. It also includes a number of applications of compressible fluid flow, such as aircraft design, rocket propulsion, gas turbines, and compressors.
The book is unique in that it provides a comprehensive treatment of compressible fluid flow that is accessible to students and researchers in mechanical and aerospace engineering, as well as for engineers working in the field of compressible fluid flow. The book also includes a number of applications of compressible fluid flow, which makes it a valuable resource for engineers working in these fields.
