Zusatztext "Nevertheless this book covers the basics in a clear and easily accessible manner and would serve as a valuable study aid and as a companion text to the number of excellent! more specialised textbooks in this area such as Gas Turbine Theoryby Savaranamutto! Rogers! Cohen and Straznicky (Prentice Hall. 2008 - Sixth edition) and Space Propulsion Analysis and Designedited by R. W. Humble et al. (McGraw-Hill Publishing Company. 1995)." (The Aeronautical Journal! 1 June 2014) Informationen zum Autor T.W. Lee, Arizona State University, USA T.W. Lee is currently an Associate Professor in the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering department at Arizona State University. He has been teaching an Aerospace Propulsion class for the last 15 years and is the author of two books. His research interests include combustion, thermal-fluids, and propulsion systems and current projects include hypersonic inlets and supersonic reactors. Klappentext Aerospace propulsion devices embody some of the most advanced technologies, ranging from materials, fluid control, and heat transfer and combustion. In order to maximize the performance, sophisticated testing and computer simulation tools are developed and used.Aerospace Propulsion comprehensively covers the mechanics and thermal-fluid aspects of aerospace propulsion, starting from the fundamental principles, and covering applications to gas-turbine and space propulsion (rocket) systems. It presents modern analytical methods using MATLAB and other advanced software and includes essential elements of both gas-turbine and rocket propulsion systems. Gas turbine coverage includes thermodynamic analysis, 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 single volume* Presents modern analytical methods and examples* Combines fundamentals and applications, including space applications* Accompanied by a website containing MATLAB examples, problem sets and solutionsAerospace Propulsion is a comprehensive textbook for senior undergraduate graduate and aerospace propulsion courses, and is also an excellent reference for researchers and practicing engineers working in this area. Zusammenfassung Aerospace propulsion devices embody some of the most advanced technologies, ranging from materials, fluid control, and heat transfer and combustion. In order to maximize the performance, sophisticated testing and computer simulation tools are developed and used.
