This graduate level course extends the introductory compressible flow topics presented in ME301 Thermodynamics II. The dynamics of a compressible flow are re-introduced. Attention is paid to the theoretical development of the equations of motion for subsonic and supersonic flow. Flow is investigated in converging, diverging, and converging-diverging nozzles. Normal and oblique shock waves are presented followed by Prandtl-Meyer flow. Steady and unsteady regimes are explored and the course concludes with one dimensional gas flow with friction and heat transfer.

The pre-requisite course is Fluid and Thermal Systems [ES 202] while sucessful completion of Thermodynamics II [ME301] is strongly advised. There are no co-requisite courses.
