A foundation in aircraft-engine analysis and preliminary propulsion design

Built around fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, this second edition connects core engineering principles to the analysis of aircraft engines and gas-turbine propulsion systems. It addresses how propulsion configurations are assessed for particular flight conditions, then extends that work into system studies and preliminary aerothermal design for turbomachinery components. The book also frames propulsion design as a comparative process, covering the conception, analysis, and optimization of alternatives for both conventional and unconventional missions. Revised content, examples, problems, and illustrations position it as a substantial instructional text for working through key aerospace-propulsion concepts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Engineering students studying aerospace propulsion
  • Learners applying thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to aircraft engines
  • Students working on preliminary turbomachinery or propulsion-system design

Book overview

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.
