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.

thermodynamic cycles of shaft engines (piston, turboprop,
turboshaft and propfan);jet engines (pulsejet, pulse detonation engine, ramjet,
scramjet, turbojet and turbofan);
jet engines (pulsejet, pulse detonation engine, ramjet,
scramjet, turbojet and turbofan);chemical and non-chemical rocket engines;
chemical and non-chemical rocket engines;conceptual design of modular rocket engines (combustor,
nozzle and turbopumps); and
conceptual design of modular rocket engines (combustor,
nozzle and turbopumps); andconceptual design of different modules of aero-engines in
their design and off-design state.
conceptual design of different modules of aero-engines in
their design and off-design state.
Aimed at graduate and final-year undergraduate students, this
textbook provides a thorough grounding in the history and
classification of both aircraft and rocket engines, important
design features of all the engines detailed, and particular
consideration of special aircraft such as unmanned aerial and
short/vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. End-of-chapter
exercises make this a valuable student resource, and the
provision of a downloadable solutions manual will be of further
benefit for course instructors.
