Theory of aerospace propulsion / Pasquale M. Sforza.

• Propulsion principles and engine classification -- Quasi-one-dimensional flow equations -- Idealized cycle analysis of jet propulsion engines -- Combustion chambers for airbreathing engines -- Nozzles for airbreathing engines -- Inlets for airbreathing engines -- Turbomachinery -- Blade element theory for axial flow turbomachines -- Airbreathing engine performance and component integration -- Propellers -- Liquid propellant rocket motors -- Solid propellant rocket motors -- Space propulsion.

• 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.
