Are there any books that focus on the fluid mechanics of gases?

Dear sea friends: Are there any books that provide in-depth explanations of the fluid dynamics of gases? Please share them with us. Thank you! I searched on the forum but couldn’t find it; the online content focuses mainly on incompressible fluids, with very little discussion on gases: lol
You can search online for terms like gas dynamics and aerodynamics
Thank you, :) I just want to learn the various calculations related to gas flow (high pressure, medium pressure, low pressure), such as pressure drop, resistance...
Guidelines for the Selection of Pipe Sizes in Process Units of Petrochemical Enterprises, SH3035-2007T, and other design manuals for various process systems contain information on the calculation of gas pressure drop and resistance.
Thank you! I usually work with high-pressure gases (nitrogen, air, argon, oxygen, deuterium, etc.), at pressures of 15–35 MPa or higher. When such gases flow through pipes, it is necessary to calculate factors such as frictional pressure loss, flow velocity, and changes in entropy and enthalpy. It seems that the existing standards (SH/T3035, HG/T20570.7) are not very suitable for this purpose; that’s why I am looking for books or software related to this topic. I hope some experts in this field can share their knowledge with me. Thank you :)
The Chemical Process Design Manual is good; take a look at it
