Gasdynamics

Abstract
Emanuel covers all the important aspects of gasdynamics, with particular emphasis on compressible-flow theory and applications. The book is divided into two parts. Part I covers thermodynamic laws, conservation equations, steady streamtube flow normal and oblique shock waves, Prandtl-Meyer flow and shock expansion theory, nozzle and diffuser flow, heat transfer, and unsteady one-dimensional flow. Part II deals with more advanced topics, such as shock waves, two-dimensional flow, theory of characteristics, aerodynamic windows, flows with shock waves, and waverider aerodynamics. The text should prove to be of great value for senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses and as a reference for the practicing engineer.
