Aerothermodynamics of gas turbine and rocket propulsion
Abstract
The present book is intended to serve as a text for both graduate and under-graduate courses in aerospace propulsion. After introducing fundamental concepts of thermodynamics and quasi-one-dimensional flows, these are applied to rocket nozzle behavior prediction. Airbreathing engines are considered within the framework of ideal cycle analysis at first, and then real engine effects are introduced through definition of component measures. Selected examples of nonideal cycles are considered in detail, design concepts are extended to off-design estimation, and the restrictive effects of fixed geometry engines are revealed. Attention is also given to the elementary aerodynamics of turbomachinery.
