Product Description

Book Description

This new text provides an introduction to the fundamentals of gas turbine engines and jet propulsion for aerospace or mechanical engineers. The book contains sufficient material for two sequential courses i propulsion (advanced fluid dynamics) an introductory course in jet propulsion and a gas turbine engine components course. The text is divided into four parts introduction to aircraft propulsion; basic concepts and one-dimensional/gas dynamics; analysis and performance of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and design of gas turbine engine components.

Best college book on gas turbine engines 28 April 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

The 40 page foreword on the past, present, and future of gat turbine propulsion by Hans von Ohain (German inventor of Jet Engine) is worth the price. Excellent fundamentals with the best description of how engine performance changes with flight conditions and throttle setting in Chapter 8. Full of design information and examples - written for both the student and professional. .....................

A Very Good Book With Lots of Useful Information 6 Sep 2000

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

I bought the book "Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion" in August of 1999 and I still read it almost everyday. It is a very interesting book, but it has a serious flaw in that there are so many errors, it appears that the editor(s) were asleep or out to lunch. It was a great disservice to the author, as I think he was shortchanged by the publisher. Being a former member of the USAF, myself I feel that his work was more meticulous than this. Perhaps the publisher was in such a hurry to hit the presses at all costs, that this is the result. This seems to be the trend in recent years. I believe that one of the major networks did and expose regarding major publishing house oversights in this area.

Best Textbook on Engine Performance 13 Mar 2002

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

This is the best textbook written on the modeling and performance prediction of gas turbine engines. A systematic method is used to model a variety of engines from the basic turbojet to the advanced afterburning turbofan used in modern fighters. Performance predictions include the effect of engine controls - a unique feature. Turbomachinery design includes structural considerations. This book is a great textbook for junior/senior level courses in aerospace/mechanical engineering. It is being used for a basic course in gas turbine engine and a followup course in engine component design...
