Fundamentals of Jet Propulsion with Applications

Parent resource - Aerospace Propulsion


By Ronald D. Flack
ISBN_13 9781107393882, ISBN_10 1107393884

This introductory 2005 text on air-breathing jet propulsion focuses on the basic operating principles of jet engines and gas turbines. Previous coursework in fluid mechanics and thermodynamics is elucidated and applied to help the student understand and predict the characteristics of engine components and various types of engines and power gas turbines. Numerous examples help the reader appreciate the methods and differing, representative physical parameters. A capstone chapter integrates the text material into a portion of the book devoted to system matching and analysis so that engine performance can be predicted for both on- and off-design conditions. The book is designed for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students in aerospace and mechanical engineering. A basic understanding of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics is presumed. Although aircraft propulsion is the focus, the material can also be used to study ground- and marine-based gas turbines and turbomachinery and some advanced topics in compressors and turbines.

About - Aerospace Propulsion

In this course we will go over the fundamentals of propulsion, aircraft engines, thrust, component efficiency, thermodynamic cycles, combustion, combustor. A discussion of thermodynamics as it applies to airbreathing propulsion will be made as and when necessary.
