Good Graduate Text,
By
This review is from: Elements of Gasdynamics (Paperback)
This book is really good. However, I don't recommend it for an undergraduate level student. Equations are sometimes proven by saying, "after some manipulation." As a reference or a graduate text however, this book is very nice to have around. It is small and the chapters are well labeled.

Permanent Companion,
By
This review is from: Elements of Gasdynamics (Paperback)
I used this book during an undergraduate research project in the UK in 1971 on gas discharge from a resonance tube and found it provided the heart and soul of the topic. While slightly challenging for a senior undergraduate student it inspires motivation to persevere with the theoretical foundations and analytical techniques leading to full enrichment in understanding the topic. Even though my graduate degrees focussed on space robotic dynamics and control I still fervently revere Liepman and Roshko's book as a lifetime refernce companion on gas dynamics.

Gasdynamics Book,

This review is from: Elements of Gasdynamics (Paperback)
Gasdynamics is a difficult topic to read. the book does not explain detail, hence you must have a lot of previous knowledge
