Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aircraft Engines and Gas Turbines is widely used as a text in the United States and abroad, and has also become a standard reference for professionals in the aircraft engine industry. Unique in treating the engine as a complete system at increasing levels of sophistication, it covers all types of modern aircraft engines, including turbojets, turbofans, and turboprops, and also discusses hypersonic propulsion systems of the future. Performance is described in terms of the fluid dynamic and thermodynamic limits on the behavior of the principal components: inlets, compressors, combustors, turbines, and nozzles. Environmental factors such as atmospheric pollution and noise are treated along with performance. This new edition has been substantially revised to include more complete and up-to-date coverage of compressors, turbines, and combustion systems, and to introduce current research directions. The discussion of high-bypass turbofans has been expanded in keeping with their great commercial importance. Propulsion for civil supersonic transports is taken up in the current context. The chapter on hypersonic air breathing engines has been expanded to reflect interest in the use of scramjets to power the National Aerospace Plane. The discussion of exhaust emissions and noise and associated regulatory structures have been updated and there are many corrections and clarifications.

Download or read book Aircraft Engines and Gas Turbines written by Jack L. Kerrebrock and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1977 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text on aircraft engines and turbines presents the engine as a complete system, with emphasis on the performance of the engine and its dependence on the major design parameters and physical limitations. The system is described at three levels, first by ideal cycle and analysis, then by more refined cycle analysis, and finally as an assembly of components. At this last level the behavior of each component is described in terms of the fluid mechanical processes, chemistry, and mechanical stresses which limit its performance. The factors which control the engine's noise production and chemical pollutant emission are also addressed. Special emphasis is placed on the past, present and likely future evolution of the aircraft engine in response to the requirements for better performance, lower noise and reduced pollution. A clear appreciation of all these factors requires basic preparation in fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, chemistry and thermodynamics. Clearly, no single text can review all these: an undergraduate preparation is assumes. The application of these several disciplines to a complex system should help the students to appreciate their interrelationship as well as to understand the engine itself. With the rapid advances that have occurred since the large-scale introduction of gas turbine power plants into military aircraft in the 1950s and into commercial aircraft in the 1960s, it has become necessary to make a clear understanding of the characteristics of these devices accessible at the undergraduate level. Such understanding is essential both for entrance to professional work in industry and as preparation for graduate study. The book will also prove valuable as a reference for engineers already working in the field. Although the main focus is on aircraft propulsion, the text will also be useful to those interested in automotive and stationary applications of gas turbines. These applications are treated at the level of cycle analysis, and much of the discussion of components is directly applicable. The eleven chapters of the text take up basic definitions and concepts, trends in ideal cycle analysis, quantitative cycle analysis, nonrotating components, compressors, turbines, the structure of turbomachinery, component matching and engine performance, aircraft engine noise, hypersonic engines, and propulsion systems analysis. Each chapter includes problems and references.

Download or read book The History of North American Small Gas Turbine Aircraft Engines written by Richard A. Leyes and published by AIAA. This book was released on 1999 with total page 1022 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark joint publication between the National Air and Space Museum and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics chronicles the evolution of the small gas turbine engine through its comprehensive study of a major aerospace industry. Drawing on in-depth interviews with pioneers, current project engineers, and company managers, engineering papers published by the manufacturers, and the tremendous document and artifact collections at the National Air and Space Museum, the book captures and memorializes small engine development from its earliest stage. Leyes and Fleming leap back nearly 50 years for a first look at small gas turbine engine development and the seven major corporations that dared to produce, market, and distribute the products that contributed to major improvements and uses of a wide spectrum of aircraft. In non-technical language, the book illustrates the broad-reaching influence of small turbinesfrom commercial and executive aircraft to helicopters and missiles deployed in recent military engagements. Detailed corporate histories and photographs paint a clear historical picture of turbine development up to the present. See for yourself why The History of North American Small Gas Turbine Aircraft Engines is the most definitive reference book in its field. The publication of The History of North American Small Gas Turbine Aircraft Engines represents an important milestone for the National Air and Space Museum (NASM) and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). For the first time, there is an authoritative study of small gas turbine engines, arguably one of the most significant spheres of aeronautical technology in the second half o

This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary human activities that release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere are the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and oil) to generate electricity, the provision of energy for transportation, and as a consequence of some industrial processes. Although aviation CO2 emissions only make up approximately 2.0 to 2.5 percent of total global annual CO2 emissions, research to reduce CO2 emissions is urgent because (1) such reductions may be legislated even as commercial air travel grows, (2) because it takes new technology a long time to propagate into and through the aviation fleet, and (3) because of the ongoing impact of global CO2 emissions. Commercial Aircraft Propulsion and Energy Systems Research develops a national research agenda for reducing CO2 emissions from commercial aviation. This report focuses on propulsion and energy technologies for reducing carbon emissions from large, commercial aircraftâ€" single-aisle and twin-aisle aircraft that carry 100 or more passengersâ€"because such aircraft account for more than 90 percent of global emissions from commercial aircraft. Moreover, while smaller aircraft also emit CO2, they make only a minor contribution to global emissions, and many technologies that reduce CO2 emissions for large aircraft also apply to smaller aircraft. As commercial aviation continues to grow in terms of revenue-passenger miles and cargo ton miles, CO2 emissions are expected to increase. To reduce the contribution of aviation to climate change, it is essential to improve the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to reduce emissions and initiate research into new approaches.
