The book covers concepts of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics which relate directly to compressible flow; discusses isentropic flow through a variable-area duct; describes normal shock waves, including moving shock waves and shock-tube ...

Finally, the book concludes with detailed discussions on propulsive devices. The text is amply illustrated with worked-out examples, tables and diagrams to enable the students to comprehend the subject with ease.

This book is also useful in providing supplemental coverage of compressible flow material in gas turbine and aerodynamics courses.
