High Enthalpy Gas Dynamics
Rathakrishnan, Ethirajan (Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur, India) This is an introductory level textbook which explains the elements of high temperature and high-speed gas dynamics. Readers will gain an understanding on how the thermodynamic and transport properties of high temperature gas are determined from a microscopic viewpoint of the molecular gas dynamics, and how such properties affect the flow features, the shock waves and the nozzle flows, from a macroscopic viewpoint. In addition, the experimental...
