Theory of Aerospace Propulsion
By- Pasquale Sforza, Professor of Aerospace Engineering, University of Florida PhD Polytechnic Institute 1965 Research Interests: Propulsion, Gas Dynamics, Air and Space Vehicle Design Co-Editor, Journal of Directed Energy Book Review Editor, AIAA Journal
Readers of this book will be able to:
utilize the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to analyze aircraft engines,
understand the common gas turbine aircraft propulsion systems and be able to determine the applicability of each,
perform system studies of aircraft engine systems for specified flight conditions,
perform preliminary aerothermal design of turbomachinery components, and
conceive, analyze, and optimize competing preliminary designs for conventional and unconventional missions.
