Description
The subject of compressible flow or gas dynamics deals with the thermo-fluid dynamic problems of gases and vapours, hence it is now an important part of both undergraduate and postgraduate curricula. Compressible Flow covers this subject in fourteen well organised chapters in a lucid style. A large mass of theoretical material and equations has been supported by a number of figures and graphical depictions. Moreover, the revised edition has an additional chapter on miscellaneous problems in compressible flow (gas dynamics)which has been designed to support the turorials, practice exercises and examinations. Problems have been specially chosen for students and engineers in the areas of aerospace, chemical, gas and mechanical engineering. Also the author's broad teaching experience is reflected in the clarity, and systematic and logical presentation of the book.
About the Author
Until recently the author was serving as a Guest Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department of I.I.T. Delhi. He obtained his Ph.D. in turbomachinery from the University of Liverpool, UK in 1965. He has been associated with the INdian Institute of Technology, Delhi since 1967 and was head of the Department (Mechanical Engineering) during 1987-90. Professor Yahya has designed and taught courses in Gas Dynamics, Turbomachinery and Power Plants for undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. He was the Aligarh Muslim University Pro-Vice Chancellor in 1991-92. He was also Chairman of ISABE (International Symposium on Air Breathing Engines), Cincinnati, USA.
