ABSTRACT
One of the problems with this subject is the difficulty of seeing the w o o d s (concepts) because of the t r e e s (complex-looking equations). Four tables of functions are provided to reduce computational effort. This chap ter may be used as a text for tutorial or refresher purposes. Each concept is explained and derived mathematically as needed. The mathematics in volved is at the minimum level needed for clarity of concept. The ther modynamic aspects of gas dynamics are fully explained, making it un necessary to consult a text on that subject. There are 11 tutorial type examples of fully solved problems.
