The book deals with the theory of Air Breathing Engines or more precisely aircraft engines. These engines take air from the atmosphere, accelerate and produce thrust to the aircraft. Gas turbine forms the basic unit and is gas generator. The components of the gas turbines are given in detail. It is a machine based on which is developed Turbo Prop and Turbo Jet Engines. Rocket has been considered as non-breathing engine. The book will be useful for Aeronautical Engineering students. The book cont...

Modern Compressible Flow, Second Edition, presents the fundamentals of classical compressible flow along with the latest coverage of modern compressible flow dynamics and high-temperature flows. The second edition maintains an engaging writing style and offers philosophical and historical perspectives on the topic. It also continues to offer a variety of problems-providing readers with a practical understanding. The second edition includes the latest developments in the field of modern compressi...

'Turbulence in Porous Media' introduces the reader to the characterisation of turbulent flow, heat and mass transfer in permeable media, including analytical data and a review of available experimental data. Such transport processes occurring a relatively high velocity in permeable media, are present in a number of engineering and natural flows. De Lemos has managed to compile, detail, compare and evaluate available methodologies for modelling simulating purposes, providing an essential tour for...

Wind Tunnel Test Techniques: Design and Use of Low- and High-Speed Wind Tunnels provides an up-to-date treatment of the topic. Beginning with a brief history of wind tunnels and its types and uses, the book goes on to cover subsonic, supersonic and hypersonic wind tunnel design and construction, calibration, boundary corrections, flow quality assessment, pressure surveys, and dynamic testing. It also focuses on wind tunnel facilities, making it useful for both the designer and operator. Engineer...

Flow, turbulence and combustion are important factors to examine in aerodynamic research. This applies to aeronautics, but also in the design of cars, trains, boats, bicycles, sails, and to medical therapies, biological fluid flows and animal locomotion. This work contains both the theoretical and practical results of research presented at the Third French-Russian Workshop on Experimentation, Modelling, Computation in Flow, Turbulence and Combustion held in Russia in April 1995.

An official publication of the Federal Aviation Administration, this is the ultimate technical manual for anyone who flies or wants to learn to fly a helicopter. If you're preparing for private, commercial, or flight instruction pilot certificates, it's more than essential reading-it's the best possible study guide available, and its information can be lifesaving. In authoritative and easy-to-understand language, here are explanations of general aerodynamics and the aerodynamics of flight, navi...

Modern Flexible Multi-Body Dynamics Modeling Methodology for Flapping Wing Vehicles presents research on the implementation of a flexible multi-body dynamic representation of a flapping wing ornithopter that considers aero-elasticity. This effort brings advances in the understanding of flapping wing flight physics and dynamics that ultimately leads to an improvement in the performance of such flight vehicles, thus reaching their high performance potential. In using this model, it is necessary to...

Thorough coverage of space flight topics with self-contained chapters serving a variety of courses in orbital mechanics, spacecraft dynamics, and astronautics This concise yet comprehensive book on space flight dynamics addresses all phases of a space mission: getting to space (launch trajectories), satellite motion in space (orbital motion, orbit transfers, attitude dynamics), and returning from space (entry flight mechanics). It focuses on orbital mechanics with emphasis on two-body motion, or...
