Author: Jack D. Mattingly and Keith M. Boyer

Condition: New

Elements of Propulsion: Gas Turbines and Rockets, Second Edition provides a complete introduction to gas turbine and rocket propulsion for aerospace and mechanical engineers. Textbook coverage has been revised and expanded, including a new chapter on compressible flow. Design concepts are introduced early and integrated throughout. Written with extensive student input, the book builds upon definitions and gradually develops the thermodynamics, gas dynamics, rocket engine analysis, and gas turbine engine principles. Please note:In order to make room for new content some materials that appeared in previous editions of the book are now available as complimentary Supporting Materials downloads from the publisher web site. For information on accessing this material please consult page 949 in the back of the textbook.Table of ContentsChapter 1 IntroductionChapter 2 Review of FundamentalsChapter 3 Compressible FlowChapter 4 Aircraft Gas Turbine EngineChapter 5 Parametric Cycle Analysis (PCA) of Ideal EnginesChapter 6 Component PerformanceChapter 7 Parametric Cycle Analysis (PCA) of Real EnginesChapter 8 Engine Performance Analysis (EPA)Chapter 9 TurbomachineryChapter 10 Rocket PropulsionAppendix A Altitude TablesAppendix B Gas Turbine Engine Data: Uninstalled PerformanceAppendix C Data for Some Liquid-Propellant Rocket EnginesAppendix D Compressible Flow FunctionsAppendix E Normal Shock FunctionsAppendix F Two-Dimensional Oblique Shock FunctionsAppendix G Rayleigh Line Flow FunctionsAppendix H Fanno Line Flow FunctionsAppendix I Turbomachinery Stresses and MaterialsAppendix J About the SoftwareAppendix K Answers to Selected ProblemsAppendix L Air and (CH2) n Properties at Low PressureAppendix M Propeller Design ToolsReferencesIndexElectronic Supporting MaterialsSupporting Material for Chapter 5Supporting Material for Chapter 7Supporting Material for Chapter 8Supporting Material for Chapter 9Chapter 11: Inlets, Nozzles, and Combustion Systems (Chapter 10 of 1st edition)Supplemental JANNAF TablesSoftwareSoftware User Guides
