A compressible flow utility software element, CIG, for calorically imperfect gas flows is reviewed. CIG makes possible the routine computation of one‐dimensional isentropic flow, normal shock waves, and Prandtl‐Meyer processes for calorically imperfect gases. Details of the formulation, discussions of the numeric procedures, and examples of applications are provided. CIG is a useful software element both for introducing students in a first compressible flow course to the effects of the calorically perfect gas assumption and for providing more advanced students with useful applications software for calorically imperfect gas flows.
