Aircraft Engines and Gas Turbines is widely used as a text in the United
States and abroad, and has also become a standard reference for professionals in the
aircraft engine industry. Unique in treating the engine as a complete system at
increasing levels of sophistication, it covers all types of modern aircraft engines,
including turbojets, turbofans, and turboprops, and also discusses hypersonic
propulsion systems of the future. Performance is described in terms of the fluid
dynamic and thermodynamic limits on the behavior of the principal components:
inlets, compressors, combustors, turbines, and nozzles. Environmental factors such
as atmospheric pollution and noise are treated along with performance.This new
edition has been substantially revised to include more complete and up-to-date
coverage of compressors, turbines, and combustion systems, and to introduce current
research directions. The discussion of high-bypass turbofans has been expanded in
keeping with their great commercial importance. Propulsion for civil supersonic
transports is taken up in the current context. The chapter on hypersonic air
breathing engines has been expanded to reflect interest in the use of scramjets to
power the National Aerospace Plane. The discussion of exhaust emissions and noise
and associated regulatory structures have been updated and there are many
corrections and clarifications.Jack L. Kerrebrock is Richard Cockburn Maclaurin
Professor of Aeronautic's and Astronautics at the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.
