Theory of Aerospace Propulsion, Second Edition, teaches engineering students how to utilize the fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics to analyze aircraft engines, understand the common gas turbine aircraft propulsion systems, be able to determine the applicability of each, perform system studies of aircraft engine systems for specified flight conditions and preliminary aerothermal design of turbomachinery components, and conceive, analyze, and optimize competing preliminary designs for conventional and unconventional missions. This updated edition has been fully revised, with new content, new examples and problems, and improved illustrations to better facilitate learning of key concepts.

Including new content, new examples and problems, and improved illustrations, this quantitative treatment of aerospace propulsion systems supports the analysis, integration, and design of components and systems for a wide range of conventional flight and unconventional missions

About the Author
Pasquale Sforza received his PhD from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1965. He has taught courses related to commercial airplane design at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and the University of Florida. His research interests include propulsion, gas dynamics, and air and space vehicle design. Dr. Sforza has also acted as Co-Editor of the Journal of Directed Energy and Book Review Editor for the AIAA Journal.

Reviews
"The authors of the book have managed to write book [sic] in a manner where students can learn all the concepts from basic to advance at one-stop location in form of this book. ...I strongly recommend this textbook for aeronautical or aerospace students at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. Aerospace researchers/engineers will also find it useful as a handbook on all basics." --The Aeronautical Journal "The authors of the book have managed to write book in a manner where students can learn all the concepts from basic to advance at one-stop location in form of this book.
