Unit 1

Basic concepts: Energy and momentum equations of compressible fluid flows – Stagnation states – Mach waves and Mach cone – Effect of Mach number on compressibility. Isentropic flows: Isentropic flow through variable area ducts.

Isentropic Flow: Nozzle and Diffusers, compressors and turbines – Use of Gas tables. Flow through ducts: Flow through constant area ducts with heat transfer (Rayleigh flow) and Friction (Fanno flow) – Variation of flow properties – Use of tables and charts – Generalized gas dynamics.

Unit 2

Normal and oblique shocks: Governing equations – Variation of flow parameters across the normal and oblique shocks – Prandtl Meyer relations – Expansion of supersonic flow, Use of table and charts – Applications.
