"Aircraft Propulsion and Gas Turbine Engines" covers aircraft engines and engine components in both power generation and marine applications. Offering a historical overview, this textbook contains a unique classification of all typesof aerospace engines, examines the different performance parameters of air-breathing engines, and demonstrates the procedure for selecting an appropriate engine. It presents an aerodynamic and thermodynamic analysis of aircraft engines along with comparisons of these different engine types. The author includesboth aero-thermodynamic and mechanical designs of rotating elements, intakes,combustion chambers, and nozzles and discusses new trends for aircraft engines.
