Riassunto
This reference on gas dynamics covers supersonic and subsonic flow phenomena where compressibility of the fluid cannot be ignored. It discusses applications in jet and rocket propulsion systems and industrial gas flow at high speeds. The applications focus and theoretical coverage will be appreciated by both students and engineers.
