Aircraft Engine Design (AIAA Education Series)

Aircraft Engine Design (AIAA Education Series)

<i>Aircraft Engine Design, Third Edition</i> presents a complete and realistic aircraft engine preliminary design experience. Starting with the requirements definition (request for proposal) driving the aircraft/engine system analyses to the final engine and component designs and layout, it focuses on the foundational concepts and procedures required for the entire process. Thoroughly updated to include many new insightful descriptions and discussions, it features 15 years of evolutionary changes that have occurred since publication of the previous edition. Consequently, both the text and accompanying software, AEDsys, of this third edition present an improved, new work. The special contributions of uniquely qualified experts continue to provide valuable material to this new edition. <P> The key steps of the design process are outlined in 10 chapters that encompass: <P> The Design Process<BR> Aircraft/Engine System Constraint Analysis<BR> Aircraft/Engine System Mission Analysis<BR> Engine Selection: Parametric Cycle Analysis<BR> Engine Selection: Engine Performance Analysis<BR> Sizing the Engine: Installed Performance<BR> Engine Component Design: Global and Interface Quantities<BR> Engine Component Design: Turbomachinery <BR> Engine Component Design: Combustion Systems<BR> Engine Component Design: Inlets and Exhaust Nozzles
