Beginning with a review of the fundamental principles, the text then moves on to fully explore other relevant areas of gas dynamics. Readers will study such topics as the governing equations for compressible fluid flow, steady one-dimensional flow, expansion waves, flow with small perturbations, unsteady one-dimensional homentropic flow, and others. The book is then completed with a series of appendices for reference.\u003c\/p\u003e Review of Fundamental Principles.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Governing Equations for Compressible Fluid Flow.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e General Features of the Steady One-Dimensional Flow of aCompressible Fluid.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Steady One-Dimensional Isentropic Flow with Area Change.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Steady One-Dimensional Flow with Friction.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Steady One-Dimensional Flow with Heat Transfer.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Shock Wave.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Expansion Waves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Mass Addition, Combustion Waves, and Generalized SteadyOne-Dimensional Flow.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e General Features of the Steady Multidimensional Adiabatic Flow ofan Inviscid Compressible Fluid.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to Flow with Small Perturbations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Introduction to the Method of Characteristics with Application toSteady Two-Dimensional Irrotational Supersonic Flow.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Method of Characteristics Applied to Unsteady One-DimensionalHomentropic Flow. Dr. Maurice Zucrow, who was employed as an engineering technical assistant to the Executive Vice President of Aerojet Engineering Company in Pasadena, California. Aerojet was one of the pioneering companies in the field of rocket propulsion systems and was organized in 1942 by Theodore Von Kármán with such future luminaries as Martin Summerfield and Frank Malina on the staff as Vice Presidents. An offer was extended to Dr. Zucrow in April 1946 of a position of Professor of Gas Turbines and Jet Propulsion in the Schools of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautical Engineering. Dr. Zucrow accepted the offer and joined the Purdue University Staff in September 1946. Professor Zucrow immediately set about setting up a course in jet propulsion and published his groundbreaking text entitled Principles of Jet Propulsion and Gas Turbines.","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989271625957,"sku":"NP9780471984405","price":269.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780471984405.jpg?v=1761783462","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/gas-dynamics-volume-1-isbn-9780471984405","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
