Applied Gas Dynamics. Third Edition


Book Description

The bases of gas dynamics are set forth in application to the theory of jet engines and other gas machines and apparatuses. A detailed analysis is made of the theory of one-dimensional gas flows on which rest largely the contemporary methods of calculation of jet engines, vane machines, ejectors, wind tunnels, and test stands. Separate chapters are dedicated to the boundary- layer theory and theory of jets lying at the basis of the determination of the friction drag, velocity fields, and temperatures in nozzles, diffusers, combustion chambers, ejectors, etc.




Applied Gas Dynamics


Book Description

A revised edition to applied gas dynamics with exclusive coverage on jets and additional sets of problems and examples The revised and updated second edition of Applied Gas Dynamics offers an authoritative guide to the science of gas dynamics.

Rarefied Gas Dynamics


Book Description

The aim of this book is to present the concepts, methods and applications of kinetic theory to rarefied gas dynamics. After introducing the basic tools, problems in plane geometry are treated using approximation techniques (perturbation and numerical methods). These same techniques are later used to deal with two- and three-dimensional problems. The models include not only monatomic but also polyatomic gases, mixtures, chemical reactions. A special chapter is devoted to evaporation and condensation phenomena. Each section is accompanied by problems which are mainly intended to demonstrate the use of the material in the text and to outline additional subjects, results and equations. This will help ensure that the book can be used for a range of graduate courses in aerospace engineering or applied mathematics.
