Erian A Baskharone

Principles of Turbomachinery in Air-Breathing Engines

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mechanical and aerospace engineering taking a course commonly called Principles of Turbomachinery or Aerospace Propulsion. The book begins with a review of basic thermodynamics and fluid mechanics principles to motivate their application to aerothermodynamics and real-life design issues. This approach is ideal for the reader who will face practical situations and design decisions in the gas turbine industry. The text is fully supported by over 200 figures, numerous examples, and homework problems.
