Jet
Propulsion :
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.

Gas
Turbine Theory (5th Edition)
by Herb Saravanamuttoo (Author), Gordon Rogers (Author), Henry Cohen
(Author), H. I. H. Saravanamuttoo, G. F. C. Rogers
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.

Gas
Turbine Engineering Handbook, Second Edition
(Incompressible Flow Turbomachines) by MEHERWAN P BOYCE (Author),
Meherwan P. Boyce
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.

Book Description
Aircraft Powerplants, Seventh Edition, part of the Glencoe Aviation
Technology Series (formerly the Northrop Series), is the most comprehensive
up-to-date powerplant book on the market today. It has been revised to
reflect the latest changes in FAR Part 147 and changing industry
needs.
The new edition features expanded coverage of turbine engine theory
and nomenclature. It also includes additional current models of turbofan,
turboprop, and turboshaft engines. Information on turbine engine fuel,
oil, ignition systems has been expanded and divided into separate
chapters. And the remainder of the turbine engine material is updated and
presented apart from reciprocating engines, allowing for the flexibility
of teaching this materials separately or together.
New material added to the propeller section deals with composite
propellers, dynamic propeller balancing, and auxiliary propeller systems
such as auto-feather, de-synchro-phasing, and de-ice. The updated and reorganized
material on aircraft systems includes the latest information on control,
indicating, and warning systems. Throughout the text, special emphasis
has been laced on the integration of information regarding how individual
components and systems operate together.
This edition includes a new Student Study Guide that parallels the
text. It provides fill-in-the-blank questions to identify key terms,
demonstrates applications of mathematical relationships, and validates
learning progress by offering multiple choice questions. The new
Instructor's Manual provides answers to the review questions and transparency
masters to help you illustrate key concepts.

Genesis
of the Jet
John Golley
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.

Model
Jet Engines
by Thomas Kamps, Keith Thomas
Book Description
Following neatly on from Kurt Schreckling's book on the FD3/64,
Thomas Kamps brings the construction and running of gas turbines up
to date. The book includes highly detailed and well illustrated building
instructions which the advanced model builder can use to make and even
design his own jet engine.
By A Customer
Until I saw this book I didn't believe it would be possible
for an amateur to build a jet engine, capable of running at 100,000 rpm . Kamps
book explains clearly how, with a reasonably well equipped workshop, a model
engineer can build an efficient working jet engine.
