Babu (mechanical engineering, Indian Institute of Technology, Madras) has written this textbook for undergraduate and graduate students in aerospace and mechanical engineering who need to master such aircraft propulsion concepts as gas dynamics, turbomachinery and the practical design aspects of aircraft engines. The author uses worked examples, exercises and analysis techniques to cover such topics as thrust calculations on production aircraft engines, compressible one-dimensional flows and the basics of combustion thermodynamics. The internal operations or ramjet and scramjet engines are also analyzed.
