  • 2 - Aerothermodynamics Review

  • from Part I - Basic Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics for Propulsion
  • Paul G. A. Cizmas, Texas A & M University
  • Book:
    Aerothermodynamics and Jet Propulsion

  • Summary

    This chapter presents a review of the laws that govern the aerodynamics and thermodynamics of gases in jet engines. Mastery of these laws is crucial for understanding why and how propulsion systems work. This chapter is divided into two parts: conservation laws and thermodynamics laws. This split is somewhat arbitrary since conservation laws and thermodynamics laws overlap. For example, the energy conservation law is also known as the first law of thermodynamics.

  • Summary

    In , the total and specific impulse were introduced since they were used in comparing different types of rocket engines. It was illustrated there that the specific impulse is an important indicator of efficiency and overall system performance. This chapter presents the general equations and parameters that measure chemical rocket performance as a function of the propellant and chamber characteristics, nozzle design, and operating altitude.

  • 1 - Jet Propulsion Principle

  • from Part I - Basic Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics for Propulsion

  • Book:
    Aerothermodynamics and Jet Propulsion
    Published online:

    02 December 2021, pp 3-12

  • Summary

    This introductory chapter starts with a classification of propulsion systems. This allows us to get familiar with some of the nomenclature used in this text. A brief history of jet propulsion is presented in order to understand the evolution of propulsion systems. The jet propulsion principle is then presented, and the expression of jet engine thrust is introduced using elementary arguments. A rigorous derivation of the thrust expression will be presented in .

    Print publication:
    02 December 2021, pp 281-380

  • Summary

    This chapter presents the main jet engine components: inlet diffuser, compressor, combustor, turbine, and exit nozzle. Typical configurations are presented for each component, followed by a description of the main processes and parameters. The performance of each component is then related to the engine real cycle, which establishes a tight connection between this chapter and . The section describing the combustors is also connected toand .

  • 9 - Classification of Rocket Propulsion Systems

  • from Part III - Rocket Engines
  • Paul G. A. Cizmas, Texas A & M University
  • Book:
    Aerothermodynamics and Jet Propulsion

    02 December 2021, pp 403-423

  • Summary

    Rocket propulsion is a form of jet propulsion where mass (or matter) is accelerated from storage to high exit velocities. Rockets differ from typical air-breathing jet propulsion in that the rocket vehicle itself supplies all the propellant for the rocket motor. The exception to this is the mixed-mode (or multi-mode) engine that will be discussed later in this chapter.

  • Condensing 40 years of teaching experience, this unique textbook will provide students with an unrivalled understanding of the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, and enable them to place that understanding firmly within a biological context. Each chapter introduces, explains, and expands a core concept in biofluid mechanics, establishing a firm theoretical framework for students to build upon in further study. Practical biofluid applications, clinical correlations, and worked examples throughout the book provide real-world scenarios to help students quickly master key theoretical topics. Examples are drawn from biology, medicine, and biotechnology with applications to normal function, disease, and devices, accompanied by over 500 figures to reinforce student understanding. Featuring over 120 multicomponent end-of-chapter problems, flexible teaching pathways to enable tailor-made course structures, and extensive Matlab and Maple code examples, this is the definitive textbook for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying a biologically-grounded course in fluid mechanics.
