Fundamentals of Jet Propulsion with Power Generation Applications by Ronald D Flack

Fundamentals of Jet Propulsion with Power Generation Applications by Ronald D Flack

Fully updated and revised, the second edition of this introductory text on air-breathing jet propulsion focuses on the basic operating principles of jet engines and gas turbines. A state-of-the-art review of turboramjet engines, hypersonic applications, geared turbofans, and adaptive cycle engines, accompanies an examination of emissions and pollutants, greatly expanding the importance of power generation gas turbines in industrial applications, and ensuring that students will be introduced to the most current trends in the subject. With completely rewritten chapters on the operating characteristics of components and ideal and nonideal cycle analysis, additional SI units in numerous examples, new and expanded end-of-chapter problems, and updated accompanying software, this remains the ideal text for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in aerospace and mechanical engineering.

'The previous edition - one of the best on air-breathing propulsion - is now even better, with content reorganized to be even clearer, while retaining its good balance between underlying thermodynamic and fluid dynamic fundamentals and their application in analyzing components and systemsThe result is a very strong introductory text on this subject.' Werner J.A. Dahm, Arizona State University and Former Chief Scientist of the U.S. Air Force
'The most detailed book on gas turbines I know. A tremendous treasure of knowledge and ideally suited to students and professionals who really want to understand the function of a jet engine or gas turbine.' Hanns-Jürgen Lichtfuss, Technical University of Munich
