DESCRIPTION:
J. Vines said Good First Edition Book. I got this book for a class I was taking and it has a good review of thermodynamics in the first part of the book. There are plenty of examples to help reinforce each topic and usually there is a cumulative example at the end of a each major section. The notation is in line with that at major design firms.

The reason this gets a 4/5 instead of 5/5 is there are some typos which are very tricky. /5 instead of 5/5 is there are some typos which are very tricky. Nikolai said great book but. The book is very good. The only drawback is that many important concepts are discussed as exercises, the concept of nozzle ejector to augment the thrust for example. Since this is a college textbook, to get solutions to the exercises you have to be a registered instructor; only then can you download the solution manual from Wiley website. Wiley website has a .pdf file with answers to some odd. Price? Excellent book! But does anyone know why the 1st edition hard back copy is as expensive as a used car?
Over 100 examples and 300 problems are designed to practice the principles learned in jet propulsion and compliment learning through applications. Propulsion system integration with aircraft plays an important role in understanding propulsion and is thus addressed in the book. The broad treatment of the gas turbine engine cycles and components makes the book suitable as a reference for propulsion and turbomachinery engineers, gas turbine industry and professional development courses.. Extensive review material and derivations are intended to help students navigate through the subject with more ease. The book covers aircraft gas turbine engine and rocket propulsion from its basic principles to more advanced treatments in engine components. Aircraft Propulsion is an engineering textbook written for students in aerospace and mechanical engineering. Principles of chemical rocket propulsion are presented in the context of single-stage to orbit propulsion needs of a rocket-based combined cycle vehicle. Component matching and off-design analysis is detailed in a separate chapter to provide the physical and performance linkage between the components and their impact on aircraft engines. In every engine component, issues related to manufacturing, material properties, temperature limitations and cooling are included to give students an appreciation for the broader scope of propulsion engineering than just aero-thermodynamics
