Opis

This robust introduction to aerothermodynamics uses example-based teaching to provide students with a solid theoretical foundation linked to real-world engineering scenarios.

Recenzje

'Professor Cizmas systematically presents an introduction of jet propulsion from the perspectives of thermal and fluid mechanics principles. Although aimed at junior-level aerospace engineering students, this textbook will also be suitable for senior-level mechanical engineers. Part I of the book is particularly useful, as it reviews topics such as gas dynamics and combustion, which might not be covered comprehensively in a traditional junior-level mechanical engineering curriculum. In summary, I recommend this introductory textbook for courses on jet propulsion systems.' Chiang Shih, Florida State University
