This document discusses compressible flow through variable area ducts. Part A covers fundamentals of compressible flow including concepts like Mach number. Part B focuses on isentropic flow through nozzles and diffusers. The conservation equations for mass, momentum and energy are applied to one-dimensional, steady, inviscid flow. For frictional flow in a constant area duct, the shear stress term is included. The resulting differential equations are solved for a perfect gas.
