Description

Aerospace propulsion devices embody some of the most advancedtechnologies, ranging from materials, fluid control, and heattransfer and combustion. In order to maximize the performance,sophisticated testing and computer simulation tools are developedand used. Aerospace Propulsion comprehensively covers the mechanicsand thermal-fluid aspects of aerospace propulsion, starting fromthe fundamental principles, and covering applications togas-turbine and space propulsion (rocket) systems. It presentsmodern analytical methods using MATLAB and other advanced softwareand includes essential elements of both gas-turbine and rocketpropulsion systems. Gas turbine coverage includes thermodynamicanalysis, turbine components, diffusers, compressors, turbines,nozzles, compressor-turbine matching, combustors and afterburners.Rocket coverage includes chemical rockets, electrical rockets,nuclear and solar sail. Key features: Both gas-turbine and rocket propulsion covered in a singlevolume Presents modern analytical methods and examples Combines fundamentals and applications, including spaceapplications Accompanied by a website containing MATLAB examples, problemsets and solutions Aerospace Propulsion is a comprehensive textbook forsenior undergraduate graduate and aerospace propulsion courses, andis also an excellent reference for researchers and practicingengineers working in this area.
