Book Description
This text provides an introduction to the fundamentals of gas turbine engines and jet propulsion for aerospace or mechanical engineers. The book contains sufficient material for two sequential courses i propulsion (advanced fluid dynamics) an introductory course in jet propulsion and a gas turbine engine components course. The text is divided into four parts introduction to aircraft propulsion; basic concepts and one-dimensional/gas dynamics; analysis and performance of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and design of gas turbine engine components.
About the author
Jack D. Mattingly received his B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, and his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington. He retired in 2000 from Seattle University as Professor Emeritus in Mechanical Engineering to dedicate his efforts to writing new editions of his two textbooks "Aircraft Engine Design" and "Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion," teaching short courses, and consulting. Dr. Mattingly was previously at the Aero Propulsion Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB where he directed exploratory and advanced development programs aimed at improving the performance, reliability, and durability of gas turbine engine components. Earlier, he was a senior member of the Department of Aeronautics at the Air Force Academy. In addition, he has taught and done research in propulsion and thermal energy systems at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), the University of Washington, the University of Wisconsin, and IBM Corp. Having published more than 30 technical papers, articles, and textbooks in his field, Dr. Mattingly was co-author of "Aircraft Engine Design, Second Edition" in 2002 that won the 2005 AIAA Summerfield Book Award.
