Beschreibung:
This book provides a comprehensive basics-to-advanced course in an aero-thermal science vital to the design of engines for either type of craft. The text classifies engines powering aircraft and single/multi-stage rockets, and derives performance parameters for both from basic aerodynamics and thermodynamics laws. Each type of engine is analyzed for optimum performance goals, and mission-appropriate engines selection is explained.
Classifications of Aircrafts and Propulsion Systems.- Basic Laws for Fluids; Performance Parameters of Jet Engines.- Piston Engines and Propellers.- Pulsejet, Ramjet, and Scramjet Engines.- Turbojet, Turbofan, and Turboramjet Engines.- Shaft Engines.- Stationary Modules of Airbreathing Engines.- Rotating Modules of Airbreathing Engines.- Special Topics.- Rockets; Rocket Engines.
