Description
This book is the initial volume in a three-volume work which is designed to furnish the student and the practicing engineer with an understanding of the fundamental principles governing the functioning and operating characteristics of the engines for propelling winged aircraft and missiles, guided and unguided, at high speeds.
As its subtitle indicates, Volume I is concerned with the thermodynamics of fluid flow and its application to propulsion engines. To ensure full understanding of the material, the author has made a special effort to make the subject matter clear to the reader. To aid in this objective, he includes the following features:
• The nomenclature for a chapter precedes the chapter
• All derivations are explained in detail
• An unusually large number of illustrative problems are worked completely
• Numerous exercise problems are included with their answers
• Tables or figures needed for solving problems are provided
• References are presented at the end of each chapter to guide the reader in further study
Discusses the underlying principles of the technology pertinent to the engines employed for propelling high-speed aircraft and missiles.
