This book is intended to provide the undergraduate and first-level graduate engineering student with a knowledge and understanding of the basic fundamentals of compressible flow and gas dynamics. The material covered should serve to bridge the gap between sophomore- or junior-level course in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics as well as advanced courses in propulsion, turbomachinery, energy conversion, advanced fluid mechanics, and advanced aerodynamic.
