Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Propulsion

Hill, Philip

Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Propulsion by Philip Hill and Carl Peterson - 2nd ed. - Boston, USA Pearson 1992 - xi, 754p. ill.

In this textbook, the authors show that a few fundamental principles can provide students of mechanical and aeronautical engineering with a deep understanding of all modes of aircraft and spacecraft propulsion. The book also demonstrates how these fundamental principles can lead directly to useful quantitative assessments of performance as well as possibilities for improvement.
