Jack D. Mattingli "Elements of Propulsion: Gas Turbines And Rockets"
Publisher: AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast | ISBN: 0865234927 | edition 2006 | PDF | pages 867 | 10.5 MB

This text provides a complete introduction to gas turbine and rocket propulsion for aerospace and mechanical engineers. Building on the very successful Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion, textbook coverage has been expanded to include rocket propulsion and the material on gas dynamics has been dramatically improved. The text is divided into four parts: basic concepts and gas dynamics; analysis of rocket propulsion systems; parametric (design point) and performance (off-design) analysis of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and design of major gas turbine engine components (fans, compressors, turbines, inlets, nozzles, main burners, and afterburners).
