Emanuel G. Gasdynamics Theory and Applications 1986

Textbook in PDF format

Gasdynamics: Theory and Applications by George Emanuel is the seventh in the Education Series of textbooks and monographs published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). Embracing a broad spectrum of theory and applications of many different disciplines of aerospace, including aerospace design practice, the Education Series develops both teaching texts and reference materials for practicing engineers and scientists. George Emanuel's text clearly serves both aims. Emanuel covers all the important aspects of gasdynamics, with particular emphasis on compressible-flow theory and applications. The book is divided into two parts. Part I covers thermodynamic laws, conservation equations, steady streamtube flow, normal and oblique shock waves, Prandtl-Meyer flow and shock expansion theory, nozzle and diffuser flow, heat transfer, and unsteady one-dimensional flow. Part II deals with more advanced topics, such as shock waves, twodimensional flow, theory of characteristics, aerodynamic windows, flows with shock waves, and waverider aerodynamics. The text should prove to be of great value for senior-level undergraduate and graduate courses and as a reference for the practicing aerospace engineer
