illustrated. The supportive drawings facilitate understanding of the theory and are of good quality. The book starts with the introduction of the principles of conservation of mass, momentum and energy. These laws with the necessary assumptions are later used in analysing typical flows in one and two space dimensions to enable a thorough understanding of the material. The derivations are clear and properly discussed. The first seven chapters are dedicated to the fundamental aspects of the subject. They contain the analysis of isentropic flows with a separately discussed isentropic flow through a variable-area duct, the definition of normal, expansion and oblique shock waves. The following chapters have more applicable character and cover nozzle characteristics and flows with friction and heat exchange effects. As these topics are often neglected in other books dedicated to the compressible fluid mechanics their inclusion further enhances the understanding of the subject matter. The book also successfully attempts to lay the foundations for more advanced problems of hypersonic, high-temperature and low density flows. All the chapters are followed by worked examples and a list of problems to solve, which are extremely useful in demonstrating the practical implementation of the concepts. The book has appendices containing an additional practical material including the description of the optical methods used as compressible flow visualisation techniques as well as a selection of important tables, constants, conversion factors and diagrams to enable the readers to comprehend the subject with ease. The book is comprehensive and wellpresented and will appeal to the undergraduate as well as the graduate level mechanical and aerospace students. It could also be useful for practising engineers engaged in compressible-flow applications. The book is supported by a numerical code COMPROP2 for compressible flow computations, which is available, free of charge and described in the book. It also includes bibliographical references to other books in the field and to a selection of interesting NASA reports concerned with compressible flow. Dr A. F.
