An Introduction to Compressible Flow (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

An Introduction to Compressible Flow, Second Edition covers the material typical of a single-semester course in compressible flow. The book begins with a brief review of thermodynamics and control volume fluid dynamics, then proceeds to cover isentropic flow, normal shock waves, shock tubes, oblique shock waves, Prandtl-Meyer expansion fans, Fanno-line flow, Rayleigh-line flow, and conical shock waves.

The book includes a chapter on linearized flow following chapters on oblique shocks and Prandtl-Meyer flows to appropriately ground students in this approximate method. It includes detailed appendices to support problem solutions and covers new oblique shock tables, which allow for quick and accurate solutions of flows with concave corners.

The book is intended for senior undergraduate engineering students studying thermal-fluids and practicing engineers in the areas of aerospace or energy conversion. This book is also useful in providing supplemental coverage of compressible flow material in gas turbine and aerodynamics courses.

Rezensionen

"This book introduces the subject of compressible flow in a clear, logical manner, elegantly combining both the flow physics and the description of its mathematics. The book's contents and style are ideal for an introductory class in compressible flow for mechanical and/or aerospace engineering students. It is also an excellent primer for practicing engineers working in the area of compressible flows. The authors should be commended for their efforts to address a critical gap in the compressible flow education arena."

Sumanta Acharya, Illinois Institute of Technology, USA

"This book is particularly attractive to those students who are interested in learning more about compressible flows beyond short and concise presentations in related courses. This book provides an effective means to obtain sufficient one-dimensional compressible flow knowledge without being intimidated by complicated/advanced textbooks."

Ting Wang, University of New Orleans, USA

"The treatment of shock waves is especially well done as the subject of two chapters: chapter 3, "Normal Shock Waves," and chapter 4, "Oblique Shock Waves." The treatment of nozzle design is another strength of the book: nozzles are frequently featured as examples, described and analyzed at various points throughout the text. This is a useful addition to the pedagogical materials available to mechanical engineering and aerospace faculty and their students. The book will serve either as a textbook or as supplemental reading for courses introducing compressible flow theory and related applications."
