Synopsis

This text provides an introduction to the fundamentals of gas turbine engines and jet propulsion for aerospace or mechanical engineers. The book contains sufficient material for two sequential courses i propulsion (advanced fluid dynamics) an introductory course in jet propulsion and a gas turbine engine components course. The text is divided into four parts introduction to aircraft propulsion; basic concepts and one-dimensional/gas dynamics; analysis and performance of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and design of gas turbine engine components.

About this title

About the Author:

Jack D Mattingly received his B.S and M.S in Mechanical Engineering From the University of Notre Dame, and his Ph.D in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington. While Studying for his doctorate under Gordon C.Oates, he pioneered research in the mixing ofconnaular swirling flows and develop a major new test facility. During his 28 years of experience in analysis and design of propulsion and thermodynamic system, he has developed aerothermodynamic cycle analysis models and created engineering software for air-breathing propulsion system. Dr. Mattingly has more than 23 years of experience in Engineering Education,Previously as a senior member of the Department of Aeronautics at the United States Air Force Academy, where he established a top undergraduate propulsion program. He retired from active duty with the U.S Air Force in 1989 and joined the faculty of Seattle University.
