Including new content, new examples and problems, and improved illustrations, this quantitative treatment of aerospace propulsion systems supports the analysis, integration, and design of components and systems for a wide range of conventional flight and unconventional missions.
Theory of Aerospace Propulsion, Second Edition, teaches engineering students how to utilize the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to analyze aircraft engines, understand the common gas turbine aircraft propulsion systems, be able to determine the applicability of each, perform system studies of aircraft engine systems for specified flight conditions and preliminary aerothermal design of turbomachinery components, and conceive, analyze, and optimize competing preliminary designs for conventional and unconventional missions. This updated edition has been fully revised, with new content, new examples and problems, and improved illustrations to better facilitate learning of key concepts.
Theory of Aerospace Propulsion, Second Edition, teaches engineering students how to utilize the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to analyze aircraft engines. Updated and fully revised, this new edition includes new examples and problems to help facilitate the understanding of both the theory and key concepts of propulsion. Common types of gas turbine aircraft propulsion systems are introduced throughout the book, with guidance on how to determine the applicability of individual systems for a given design or performance specification. In addition, the author shows the reader how to perform system studies of aircraft engine systems for specified flight conditions, perform preliminary aerothermal design of turbomachinery components, and conceive, analyze, and optimize competing preliminary designs for conventional and unconventional missions.
KEY FEATURES:
• Early coverage of cycle analysis provides a systems perspective, and offers context for the chapters on turbomachinery and components
• Broader coverage than that found in most other books―including coverage of propellers, nuclear rockets, and space propulsion―allows analysis and design of more types of propulsion systems
• In-depth, quantitative treatments of the components of jet propulsion engines provides the tools for evaluation and component matching for optimal system performance
• Worked examples and end of chapter exercises provide practice for analysis, preliminary design, and systems integration
NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION:
• Expanded introductory material on fuels, space propulsion, and turbofan engine operation
• Discussion and analysis of supersonic combustion and scramjet flight applications
• Maximizing nozzle thrust and estimation of friction and shock losses in both nozzles and inlets
• Optimizing compressor face inlet conditions and analysis of turbine cooling requirements
• Geared turbofans, open rotor engines, and expanded coverage of turboprops
• Thermochemical assessment of liquid propellants and turbopump feed system design
• Chapters now include introductory sections that help to frame the material, and conclude with concise summaries to highlight the key chapter points
• Numerous example problems and exercises have been added, figures and graphs have been improved, and errors appearing in the first edition have been corrected
