Gas Turbine Theory & Jet Propulsion

This book has been written with a view to place before the beginners of this subject, a course of study prescribed by most of the Indian Universities under the subject 'Gas Turbine Theory and Jet Propulsion' avoiding as far as possible the many controversial chapters accompanied with this new type of prime-mover. For the sake of ease in understanding some parts of the work have been given simpler approach that the latest refinement of method would permit.

1. Concepts of Gas Dynamics

2. Fundamental Equations of the Steady Flow

3. Isentropic Flow

5. Flow with Friction and No Heat Transfer (Adiabatic Flow)

6. Wave Phenomena

7. Variable Area Flow

8. Historical Review

9. Thermodynamics of Gas Turbine

10. Axial Flow Turbines
