Gas Dynamics: Theory and Applications

by George Turrell

Overview

This book consists of two parts, theory and applications. Part I introduces the kinetic theory of gases with relevance to molecular energies and intermolecular forces. Part II focuses on how these theories are used to explain real techniques and phenomena involving gases. By stressing the practical implications, the book explains the theory of gas dynamics in a highly readable and comprehensive manner.

Editorial Reviews

In this text on the theory and applications of gas dynamics, Turrell (U. of Sciences and Technologies, Lille, France) discusses intermolecular forces and the role of these forces in determining the transport properties and other properties of real gases. He discusses the kinetic theory of gasses in terms of both molecular energies and intermolecular forces. The applications covered include atomic and molecular beams, and gas lasers and plasmas.
