GAS DYNAMICS

This edition is a revised augmented version of the book meant to serve as a modern and practice text for those who study Gas Dynamics. A considerable number of involved problems are added to this edition. In all the chapters, a brief and easily accessible theory covering the essence of the chapter material is given. The examples in every chapter are designed to give a feel about the physics associated with the subject material treated. The problems in all the chapters cover a wide range of varying intensity with a suitable mathematical approach. Solving these problems will make the readers comfortable with the theory and applications of gas dynamics. Most of the problems are class tested at both undergraduate and graduate level courses offered by the author at various universities in India and abroad. Many problems on moving waves added to this edition will be of great value to the users for a comfortable understanding of the physics of moving waves, which play a dominant role in the experimental devices of practical importance, such as shock tubes. This book is meant for researchers, teachers and students in their gas dynamics course.
