MECH 771 - Compressible Flow

Credit Hours: 3

Prerequisites: MATH 231 and MECH 611 or consent of program director.
Compressible Flow combines aspects of classical thermodynamics and equilibrium mixtures with compressible fluid flow. Chemical thermodynamics and real gases are explored. 1-dimensional flows through nozzles and diffusers are analyzed. Normal and oblique shock relations, Prandtl-Meyer flow, and method of characteristics are also introduced.
