Jet Propulsion: A Simple Guide to the Aerodynamic and Thermodynamic Design and Performance of Jet Engines

Good book so far, Its like being a part of the thought process of a design. Also, it got here from the UK faster than I can get most stuff shipped locally.

Very useful. Everything is explained thoroughly and completely, and very easy to understand. Exercises are quite helpful. I highly recommend it.

This is an outstanding book by a knowledgeable author that provides the basic know-how and skills that an aeronautical or mechanical engineer with an interest in jet propulsion will find useful and helpful. The book is well written in a readable and easy to follow format that provides the reader with a comprehensive overview of jet propulsion. The author clearly presents the concepts, principles and design issues of modern gas turbine engines.The reader will learn the various components of a jet engine including the intake design, compressors, turbines, combustion chamber designs, and the jet pipe and how thrust is produced as well as the physics and thermodynamics that go with these.The book has great explanations, diagrams and figures that the reader will find useful and helpful. I recommend the book to engineers wishing to learn more about the jet engine.

Good format!

This book keeps up with the promise in the title. It is a easily readable guide to design and perfomance of jet engine with a rigorous treatise of each field, even if the level remains simple.In fact the mathematical exposition is quite accessible, without a full analytical presentation. Nevertheless the formulae are clearly given with an effective theorical background when needed. Since the volume target is to clarify ideas and principles, each topic is attractively examined, emphasizing the qualitative treatment over the quantitative analysis to improve understanding of physical phenomena. This facet is quite useful because it allows an overall comprehension in mastering design process of jet engine. Besides, the emphasis on having a clear picture of principles provides the basis for a fair evaluation of engine perfomances under real conditions.As a guide or a reference, this work has neatly achived its goal.

The author gives an excellent overview of many topics related to jet propulsion. The mathematical and theoretical exposition remains at a basic level and is very accessible. For a more advanced exposition to the subject, the readers can refer to Gas Turbine Theory of Saravanamuttoo, Rogers, Cohen and Straznicky. Nevertheless, reading this book will give significant insight about the performances and design of jet engines for civil and military aircrafts. In my opinion, this text is not really suited for newcomers to the subject but will certainly clarify some ideas and principles for people who had already a first exposition to the subject of jet propulsion.The book is concise but covers a lot of topics such as components design (intake, compressor, turbine, combustor, nozzle), component matching, off-design performances, etc. More interresting, the author states the design criteria for civil and military aircraft. This explains the differences between the high bypass ratio turbofans of civil aircrafts and the compact turbofans of jet fighter. I definitely recommend this book for everyone interested on the subject.

This is a great text book for those who wants to understand the gas turbine at system level and how it is designed from scratch.

Very good book for everyone , who is interested in aicraft technical topics, or study. Simple explanation of the topic.

Cumpsty gelingt es, komplexe Zusammenhänge mit noch ausreichender mathematischer Grundlage so einfach wie möglich darzustellen. Das Buch bietet damit für den angehenden Luftfahrzeugingenieur einen idealen Einstieg.

迅速な対応ありがとうございました。なお，鉛筆による一部書き込みがありましたが，使用に影響がないことから評価を５といたしました。

Its a great purchase. Complete value for the price, actually more. Very good for engineers or enthusiasts who wants to broden their knowledge on GT
