Preface to the Fifth Edition
The data given in the previous edition has been thoroughly checked. Errors occurring in some
pages have been corrected.
This little book has been the companion volume of the authors bookFundamentals of Com-
pressible Flow. They together will continue to serve the needs of students, scientists and engineers
in areas of aerospace, mechanical, chemical and gas engineering.
It is hoped that the new format of this edition will be more convenient to use.

Preface to the First Edition
There was a long-felt need for gas tables to support the courses in Gas Dynamics, Turbomachinery
and Aerodynamics taught at different levels.
These tables have been prepared for compressible fluids of common use. Long and detailed
tables in a wide range covering a number of values of = c

besides being expensive are not
fully used by a majority of students.
Various formulas which form the basis of the tables are also included which will be useful for
ready reference.
With numerical work of this magnitude it is highly probable that some errors may have crept
in; reference to these errors and suggestions for improvement will be highly appreciated.
The ranges of various tables have been chosen according to their importance and frequency
in use.
