No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1970–71 to 1994–95; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
Basic laws of compressible fluid flow. Wave propagation in compressible fluids, isentropic flow of a perfect gas, normal and oblique shock waves. Prandtl-Meyer flow. Flow in ducts and over bodies, flow with friction (Fanno) and heat transfer (Rayleigh), imperfect gas effects, measurement of compressible flows, use of formulae, charts and tables, introduction to the method of characteristics.
As printed in the 1972–73 to 1994–95 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original. Later calendars (1995–96 on) aren’t on uwloo.
