About this ebook

The book entitled “Fundamentals of Propulsion” contains study material of a two-semester course for undergraduate Aerospace Engineering students. It has 12 Chapters, the first Chapter is Introduction and Chapters II to VI include Heat Transfer, Propeller Aerodynamics, Combustion, Internal Combustion Engines, and Gas Turbines taught in first semester. The second semester deals with Gas Dynamics, Intake and Propelling Nozzle, Ideal Turbojet Engine Cycle Analysis, Real Turbojet Engine Cycle Analysis, Axial Flow Compressor and Axial Flow Turbine are discussed in Chapters VII to XII.

The authors hope that the book will not only be useful to Aerospace Engineering students but also will be helpful to those who are preparing for GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) and other competitive examinations. Working professionals may also find it useful as a quick reviewing material on airbreathing propulsion.

An excellent text book written in a language and style which can be easily understood by students. It is well researched and follows a very logical approach to a subject which is usually found difficult to comprehend. The book is a healthy mix of theory and numerical problems which can clear concepts of this subject which is covered over two semesters at the UG level in Aerospace Engineering. It is a "must have" for all budding aerospace engineers as well as professionals in the aerospace industry.
