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).

main burners, and afterburners).
Design concepts are introduced early (aircraft and rocket
performance in an introductory chapter) and integrated throughout.
Written with extensive student input on the design of the book, the
book builds upon definitions and gradually develops the
thermodynamics, gas dynamics, rocket engine analysis, and gas
turbine engine principles. The book contains over 100 worked
examples and numerous homework problems so concepts are applied
after they are introduced. Over 600 illustrations and pictures show
basic concepts, trends, and design examples.

Eight computer programs accompany the text, which allow for rapid
calculation of trends, “what if” questions, conceptual design,
homework problems, and homework verification. The software runs in
the Windows operating system on PC-compatible systems.
