Student Opinion[edit | edit source]
| The syllabus taught is usually dependent on the professors. Nevertheless, this course serves as an introduction to compressible flows. Some might find it to be difficult in the beginning as it requires a clear understanding of thermodynamics.It will require some reading to have a clear understanding. |
How to Crack the Paper[edit | edit source]
| The paper depends on the professor setting it, and considering it has been taught by different professors over time, it will not resemble previous year papers very much. The tutorials are quite helpful when it comes to the numerical problems. The conceptual ones would be from concepts taught in class or would be found in any book. The paper would not be difficult, might be lengthy in some cases though. |
