		0521596742 Jet Propulsion : 0521596742 A Simple Guide to the Aerodynamic and Thermodynamic Design and Performance of Jet Engines by Nicholas A. Cumpsty (Author), J. E. Ffowcs Williams (Editor), E. M. Greitzer (Editor) Book Description This text provides a self-contained introduction to the aerodynamic and thermodynamic design of modern civil and military jet engines. Through two engine design projects, first for a new large passenger aircraft, and second for a new fighter aircraft, the text introduces, illustrates and explains the important facets of modern engine design. Individual sections cover aircraft requirements and aerodynamics, principles of gas turbines and jet engines, elementary compressible fluid mechanics, bypass ratio selection, scaling and dimensional analysis, turbine and compressor design and characteristics, design optimization, as well as off-design performance. Although the book assumes familiarity with basic fluid mechanical ideas, background is given where necessary. The book emphasises principles and ideas, with simplification and approximation used where this helps understanding. Many exercises (using numerical rather than algebraic solutions, with realistic empirical input where needed) support and reinforce the text. A detailed glossary is included. This text is suitable for student courses in aircraft propulsion and jet engine design, but will be invaluable as a guide and reference for engineers in the engine and airframe industry.

		013015847X Gas Turbine Theory (5th Edition) by Herb Saravanamuttoo (Author), Gordon Rogers (Author), Henry Cohen (Author), H. I. H. Saravanamuttoo, G. F. C. Rogers 013015847X Back Cover Copy When the First Edition of this book was written fifty years ago, the gas turbine was just becoming established as a powerplant for military aircraft. It took another decade before the gas turbine was introduced to civil aircraft, and this market developed so rapidly that the ocean liner was rendered obsolete. Other markets like naval propulsion, pipeline compression and electrical power applications grew steadily. In recent years the gas turbine, in combination with the steam turbine, has played an ever-increasing role in power generation. Despite the rapid advances in both output and efficiency, the basic theory of the gas turbine has remained unchanged. The layout of this new edition is broadly similar to the original, but greatly expanded and updated, comprising an outline of the basic theory, aerodynamic design of individual components, and the prediction of off-design performance. Descriptions of engine developments and current markets make this book useful to both students and practicing engineers. FEATURES: completely updated to cover current industry requirements and applications coverage of both aircraft and industrial gas turbines includes detailed treatment of off-design performance incorporates in-depth examples throughout based on the authors' extensive teaching and professional experience Gas Turbine Theory is the classic course text on gas turbines, suitable for both undergraduate and graduate students of mechanical and aeronautical engineering. This new edition will also continue to be a valuable reference for practicing gas turbine engineers. ISBN: 013015847X List 85.00
		0884157326Gas Turbine Engineering Handbook, Second Edition (Incompressible Flow Turbomachines) by MEHERWAN P BOYCE (Author), Meherwan P. Boyce 0884157326 Book Description The gas turbine is a power plant that produces a great amount of energy for its size and weight and thus has found increasing service in the past 20 years in the petrochemical industry and utilities throughout the world. The gas turbine's compactness, weight, and multiple fuel applications make it a natural power plant for offshore platforms. This second edition is not only an updating of technology, which has seen a great leap forward in the 1990s, but also a rewriting of various sections to better answer concerns about emissions, efficiency, mechanical standards and codes, and new materials and coatings. At a time when energy costs are high, this important handbook expertly guides those seeking optimum use of each unit of energy supplied to a gas turbine. In this book, the author has assimilated the subject matter (including diverse views) into a comprehensive, unified treatment of gas turbines. The author discusses the design, fabrication, installation, operation, and maintenance of gas turbines. The intent of this book is to serve as a reference text after it has accomplished its primary objective of introducing the reader to the broad subject of gas turbines. Thus it is of use to both students of the subject and similarly to professionals as a desk reference in their daily lives. Covers every aspect of gas turbine design and operation. Presents necessary data and helpful suggestions to assist engineers to obtain optimum performance for any gas turbine, under all conditions. Serves as a desk reference both for students and professionals. List 178.00

	0002063387 width=250>	0002063 Genesis of the Jet John Golley 0002063 Book Description In April, 1937, Englishman Frank Whittle became the first person to successfully start and run a turbojet engine. The enthusiasm of the American General "Hap" Arnold took the next stage of development to the U.S.A. Within six months Whittle's invention was powering more American jets than British. This is the story of a genius throttled by British government bureaucracy and gagged for decades by the secrecy. The story is now told in full. Its revelations provide a fascinating insight into the attitudes of the wartime government and military establishment, attitudes that led to one of the greatest inventions of all time being offered freely to those who were to become Britain's main aircraft manufacturing competitors. .....#0002063 2
