Covering the main topics in compressible flow, this text provides a supplement to any standard book on gas dynamics. A brief theory of the subject is presented and all relevant formulae are deduced systematically with many worked examples. Illustrations and air-tables are also provided. The book will be of particular interest to students studying air-breathing engines, rockets, gas turbines and steam turbines.
