This seminal book on gas turbine technology has been a bestseller since it was first published in 1984. It now includes a comprehensive set of software programs that complement the text with problems and design analyses. Software topics include: atmosphere programs; quasi-one-dimensional flows programs (ideal constant-area heat interaction, adiabatic constant-area flow with friction, rocket nozzle performance, normal shock waves, oblique shock waves), gas turbine programs (engine cycle analysis and engine off design performance), and rocket combustion (Tc and Pc given, Hc and Pc given, is entropic expansion). Used as a standard text in more than 50 universities, the book and software will continue to fulfill the need for a comprehensive modern book on the principles of propulsion.

ContentsThermodynamics and quasi-one-dimensional fluid flows; chemical rockets; nonchemical rockets; ideal cycle analysis; component performance; nonideal cycle analysis; engine off-design performance; elementary theory of blade aerodynamics; throughflow theory; cascade flows.

System requirementsIBM PC 386/486/586/Pentium or compatible; 640KbRAM hard disk with 1.0Mb of available disk space; EGA or better video capability.
