Gas Tables: For Steady One-dimensional Flow of Perfect Gas  (English, Paperback, Balachandran P.)

This data book on gas tables covers the subject matter in eleven well organized chapters supported with a number of graphical depictions. It contains tabulated values of parameters obtained by solving one-dimensional equations of compressible fluid flow. It is useful as a reference data book for solving problems in compressible fluid dynamics or gas dynamics and propulsion engineering. This book is designed for use by the students and professionals engaged in the fields of mechanical, aerospace and chemical engineering.

Key Features

• Contains tabulated values and charts of compressible flow functions.
• Equations used in preparing the tables are presented separately.
• Separate table for standard atmosphere is given.
• The present book can be used as a reference data table for university examinations.
