A revised second edition of this introductory text on air-breathing jet propulsion, emphasizing jet engines and gas turbines.
Ronald D. Flack, Jr. is a Professor Emeritus, the former Chair of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and former Director of the Rotating Machinery and Controls (ROMAC) Industrial Research Program at the University of Virginia. He is an ASME Fellow.
'The previous edition - one of the best on air-breathing propulsion
- is now even better, with content reorganized to be even clearer,
while retaining its good balance between underlying thermodynamic
and fluid dynamic fundamentals and their application in analyzing
components and systems. The result is a very strong introductory
text on this subject.' Werner J.A. Dahm, Arizona State University
and Former Chief Scientist of the U.S. Air Force
'The most detailed book on gas turbines I know. A tremendous
treasure of knowledge and ideally suited to students and
professionals who really want to understand the function of a jet
engine or gas turbine.' Hanns-Jürgen Lichtfuss, Technical
University of Munich
